Wynton and Sandra Day O’Connor to Lead “A Celebration of America”
Jazz at Lincoln Center and The Rockefeller Foundation will present “A CELEBRATION OF AMERICA” in the Kennedy Center’s Eisenhower Theater on the occasion of the Presidential Inauguration and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, January 19, 2009 live on CNN at 7 p.m.
The evening’s program will look back on the life of one of the greatest of all Americans, and forward to a new era under a new President. An all-star cast will illustrate that American democracy and America’s music – jazz – share the same tenets and embody the same potential for change, hope and renewal, which Dr. King himself called America’s “triumphant music.” Special guest stars will be announced shortly.

Not having full cable, I made special arrangement to watch CNN tonight to no avail, as it was not broadcasted, and appeared to have disappeared as well from JALC/Rose Room live broadcast party. Some arrangements did not worked out in the end?I hope it will be played somewhere soon, and that We will be kept abreasted of where and when.Such a great line-up!
