Kenny Burrell & Los Angeles Jazz Orchestra Unlimited

Jazz at LACMA is proud to kick off its twenty-first season with legendary guitarist Kenny Burrell and the Los Angeles Jazz Orchestra Unlimited. The concert marks the premiere of the Los Angeles Jazz Orchestra Unlimited (LAJOU), which features some of the finest jazz musicians in Los Angeles and will showcase new music by LAJOU co-directors Kenny Burrell, Charley Harrison, and Dr. Bobby Rodriguez.  A special highlight of the concert will be a tribute to the great Duke Ellington in honor of his birthday, April 29. Burrell, who has worked with such prominent musicians as Oscar Peterson, Dizzy Gillespie, and Milt Jackson, has served as director of Jazz Studies at UCLA since 1998 and lectures around the world on the music of Ellington.
