The greatest big band in the land returns to Savannah for an evening of full-tilt swing. Celebrating the 50th birthday of bandleader Wynton Marsalis, the orchestra will perform a retrospective of his own compositories and arrangements of big band classics - from the music's New Orleans roots to bebop to modern jazz. "[Marsalis] projects an amiable informality that tells people the music is meant to be as fun as it is important." --CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
