By: Walter McBride Dec. 17, 2010
On Wednesday, December 15th Ailey kicked off a week-long dedication to America's two greatest art forms - Jazz and modern dance. Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis joined Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in live musical performances highlighting the works of legendary composers, Duke Ellington and Dizzy Gillespie. The Company's remarkable artistry brought these spellbinding sounds to life in Alvin Ailey's renowned work, Three Black Kings and the captivating ballet, The Winter In Lisbon by Billy Wilson. The week's performances also included repertory favorites such as Artistic Director Designate, Robert Battle's In/Side and works by Ulysses Dove and Hans van Manen. BroadwayWorld was on hand for Three Black Kings and brings you photo coverage below.
As part of the Ailey/Jazz program, experience Three Black Kings, the last major work composed by the great Duke Ellington fused with Alvin Ailey's breathtaking choreography, in its entirety for the first time in over 30 years! This season's restaging of Three Black Kings is a momentous occasion, made even more special by live musical accompaniment by Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Join in an exclusive opportunity to see this classic ballet as it's never been seen before!
