    Jazz Finds a New Home

    Jazz lovers take note! Today, host John Schaefer offers a sneak preview of the new home of Jazz at Lincoln Center. We get a behind-the-scenes tour of the sleek new $128 million Fredrick P. Rose concert hall, located in the Time Warner Center on Columbus Circle with the center’s president and CEO Walter Thinnes. We also hear from Wynton Marsalis, the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and trumpeter, and artistic director for Jazz at Lincoln Center, which he co-founded in 1987. Always an outspoken figure in the jazz world, Marsalis discusses the development of the new hall, his programming vision for the center, and his upcoming performance with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra.
