One of the most important modern monuments to the American jazz legacy, the non-profit Jazz at Lincoln Center arrived at its Columbus Circle home in 2004 with the state-of-the-art Frederick P. Rose Hall. It has been a cornerstone of the New York City jazz and arts scene ever since. JaLC has fostered the love of jazz among youth and young adults with its Jazz for Young People concerts and Swing Club subscriptions for adults (21–35). The Thursday evening Jazz Talks feature conversations with top players and historians, giving concertgoers insights into the rich context of “America’s music.”

Led by Artistic Director and world-renowned trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, Jazz at Lincoln Center performances range from musical legends to up-and-coming young artists from around the globe. Jazz at Lincoln Center is also home to the Nesuhi Ertegun Jazz Hall of Fame, which features a variety of interactive audio and visual presentations about past inductees to the Hall.

There are three main venues within Frederick P. Rose Hall: Rose Theater, where most of the large-scale performances are staged; the Allen Room, which has stunning views of Central Park from its 90-foot windows above the stage; and Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola, the most intimate venue in the complex, offering catered dining and live jazz seven nights a week. We recommend making a reservation for Dizzy’s Club and planning to pay around $30 for the music with a $10 food/drink minimum.
