Joyce and George T. Wein Shape of Jazz

Cécile McLorin Salvant by Karolis Kaminskas

Carnegie Hall’s legacy of world-class and wide-ranging jazz programming continues in this five-concert series. Visionary vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant leads her band as part of her 2024–2025 Carnegie Hall Perspectives series. Pianist, composer, and bandleader Nduduzo Makhathini plays an exciting role in our season’s spotlight on the music of South Africa. New York City downtown veteran Steven Bernstein performs his Carnegie Hall headlining debut. Claudia Acuña leads a concert of Latin American standards in the unique Zankel Hall Center Stage configuration. Guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel, called “the sound of the future—just like bebop once was” (Chicago Tribune), performs with his band.
