Overview
Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis
Saturday, September 29, 2018, 8:00pm
Presented by UCSB Arts & Lectures
Spaces featuring Lil Buck and Jared Grimes
At its swinging heart, jazz is dance music, built on rhythms that have inspired the greatest tap dancers and given rise to dance crazes like the jitterbug. Inspired by the variety of movements in the animal kingdom, Wynton Marsalis’ Spaces is a 10-part suite described as a “jazz Carnival of the Animals” (Financial Times). This evening-length work features two extraordinary dancers interpreting everything from snakes to chickens: Charles “Lil Buck” Riley, a specialist in a street dance called jookin’; and tap dancer Jared Grimes. Join us as we kick off our 60th anniversary season with a roar!
Tickets may also be purchased directly through the UCSB Arts & Lectures website.
