Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis Monday, February 27th at 8 p.m.

Versatility is a hallmark of the Juilliard-trained Wynton Marsalis. As music director of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, it's clear that style and experience are leading characteristics as well. Under his direction, the Orchestra performs a vast repertoire, from rare historic compositions to Jazz at Lincoln Center-commissioned works.

Marsalis became the first jazz artist to be awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prize in music for his oratorio "Blood on the Fields," commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln Center. Hailed as "an extraordinarily versatile orchestra" by the Los Angeles Times, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra is composed of 15 of jazz music's leading instrumental soloists.

Bruce Hornsby, Saturday, February 25th at 8 p.m.

Bruce Hornsby's work continues to display the same creative iconoclasm that's been a constant in the artist's two-and-a-half decade recording career. His commercial stock soared early on, when "The Way It Is"--the title track of Bruce Hornsby and the Range's 1986 debut album--became the most-played song on American radio in 1987, winning ASCAP's Song of the Year award. "The Way It Is" and such subsequent hits as "Mandolin Rain" and "Every Little Kiss," established Hornsby as popular pop act, while high-profile work with the likes of Don Henley,and Huey Lewis made him an in-demand collaborator.

New Orleans' Own Hot 8 Brass Band, Tuesday February 21st at 7:30 p.m.

Nothing epitomizes New Orleans street music more than New Orleans' own Hot 8 Brass Band. Here they are back at The American to help us celebrate Mardi Gras in true French Quarter style.

This is a band that infuses its performances with the funk and energy that make the Crescent City's music loved around the world. All of the band members were born and raised in New Orleans and what makes them so special is their ability to coax and create such unique and memorable sounds from their well-worn and well-loved instruments, so that an evening with Hot 8 is simply like no other.

They regularly tour Japan, Italy, France, Spain, Finland and the United Kingdom and are a solid rock regular at the annual New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and many other leading festivals around the globe. Famed motion picture director Spike Lee featured members of Hot 8 in both of his recent documentaries and they were also featured in acclaimed HBO series Treme. Recently they shared the stage with Dr. John, Lou Reed and Nicolas Payton at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem and they are featured on the most recent Blind Boys of Alabama recording.

Freedom Bound, Saturday, February 18th at 2 p.m.

An original play with music, Freedom Bound tells the story of the most important incident in the history of the Underground Railroad in Ohio. This is the story of Addison White, a slave who escaped from Kentucky and ended up in Mechanicsburg, Ohio. There he was befriended by a farmer named Udney Hide. Addison worked for his meals by day and learned to read and write by night with the help of Hyde's daughter, Amanda. It was not too long before Addison was discovered by his former master and Federal Marshall's came to arrest him and return him to slavery. But, more than 100 citizens confronted the Marshalls and demanded they set Addison free.

In this wonderful production, Mad River Theatre Works creates characters that literally emerge from the past to bring the Underground Railroad to life, right before your eyes.
