After Detroit trumpeter Donald Byrd recognized his talents as a 20-year-old, he signed with Blue Note Records as a solo artist; his 1963 album produced the hit \u201cWatermelon Man,\u201d which marked him as an instant success story. A history-shaping tenure with the Miles Davis Quintet followed, and he would later herald the birth of jazz fusion.

While a February residency precludes an appearance on the 50-yard line, we\u2019re thrilled that Wynton and his Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra will return for another distinctive UMS residency this year.\n\nMarsalis\u2019s Symphony No. 4, \u201cThe Jungle,\u201d was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic and premiered in December 2016; it has only been performed three times in the US since it was written. The six-movement symphony for jazz band and orchestra takes the dense mosaic of New York City as its inspiration. Marsalis\u2019s masterwork highlights the paradoxes that define New York City, where wealth and poverty, grit and romance, and unlimited growth and stagnation all coexist.

Then, Nadia Boulanger\u2019s striking miniatures demonstrate the full range of the cello\u2019s capabilities, as do Robert Schumann\u2019s folk-inspired short compositions. The program concludes with the trailblazing composer Rebecca Clarke, whose rich, expressive Viola Sonata is presented here in its cello arrangement.
