The incomparable Wynton Marsalis Septet reunite to perform "In This House, On This Morning," the beloved African-American spiritual that debuted as a CD fifteen years ago this Friday before the septet performed the piece in churches across the country. Wycliffe Gordon, Wess “Warmdaddy” Anderson, Todd Williams, Reginald Veal, Herlin Riley, and Richard Johnson come together for this special closing concert of Jazz at Lincoln Center’s 2006-2007 season. “Some of it is introspective, some of it is praise, some of it is prayerful, and some of it is exotic. The whole service is a dialogue with God,” says Marsalis. Tickets include admission to pre-concert and intermission events in the Atrium in Frederick P. Rose Hall featuring live music and food and drink samplings. For more information, please visit www.jalc.org.
