Post Description

Congo Square is a musical tribute to New Orleans composed and performed by Wynton Marsalis, trumpet master from New Orleans and Yacub Addy, an African master drumer -- a unique collaboration where a Lincoln Center"s great jazz orchestra mingles with an African percussion ensemble in a 2 hour concert of original music filmed at the 2007 Montreal Jazz Festival. 

It took two great and unique musicians - the African drummer Yacub Addy and Wynton Marsalis - to blend Ghanaian percussion and songs with jazz forms on this level. The result is amazing. This is a culturally historic masterwork, but it"s also some of the most dynamic and hot music you"ve ever heard - it lifts the spirit and moves the body. 

Each of the musicians of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Yacub Addy"s ensemble Odadaa! have made a great effort and the love shows. 

This concert was the opening event of the 2007 Montreal Jazz Festival, and comes at the end of the second national tour of the music. The music naturally evolved over this time and the result is a unique performance.
