This holiday performance features special guest vocalist Catherine Russell, who will personally choose some of her favorite holiday tunes. The latest generation in a family of jazz royalty, Russell possesses a transcendent voice and uplifting spirit.

The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, led by Wynton Marsalis, is made up of 15 of the finest soloists, ensemble players, and arrangers in jazz music today.

Musical director Wynton Marsalis has recorded more than 70 jazz and classical albums earning him nine Grammy Awards. In 1983, he became the first and only artist to win both classical and jazz Grammys in the same year.
