El estreno mundial del «The Ever Fonky Lowdown» encargado por el «Jazz at Lincoln Center» a Wynton Marsalis (New Orleans, 1961) marca el final de la trigesima temporada de la organización. Esta semana la grabacion debuta en el numero 16 de la lista de Jazz de Billboard.
“Un disco increíble que habla de nuestro momento. Un álbum maravillosamente cohesivo que es fascinante de adelante hacia atrás». Jazziz
Marsalis ha usado la grabacion para transmitir sus esperanzas, preocupaciones e ideas sobre la cultura y la sociedad contemporáneas a través de su vision históricamente informada.
La exploración de temas culturales y sociales ha hecho de Marsalis toda una celebridad y leyenda viviente que ha ganado el premio Grammy y el Pulitzer.
Su trabajo y música han sido una parte fundamental del Jazz at Lincoln Center y su arte es una estrecha conexión entre liderazgo ambicioso y creatividad sin concesiones.
