JAZZ at Lincoln Center

We're excited to announce the launch of Jazz at Lincoln Center's newest initiative: Blue Engine Records. 


As today's New York Times article attests, this record label has been a long time coming. It started as an idea way back when Jazz at Lincoln Center came steaming out of the station with our first concerts some 28 years ago.

Blue Engine helps us fulfill an integral part of our mission: entertaining, enriching and expanding a global community for jazz. Blue Engine’s albums will allow jazz fans worldwide to enjoy music—wherever they are and whenever they want—from Jazz at Lincoln Center’s vast archive of live and studio recordings.

You can now preorder Blue Engine’s first album, LIVE IN CUBA. In stores August 21st, the album captures the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis' dazzling first—and only—performances in Havana in 2010. Recorded in front of a clamorous, sold-out crowd at the Mella Theatre, this two-disc package documents the big band’s unforgettable exploration of the connections between American jazz and Afro-Cuban music.

LIVE IN CUBA is the first destination on what will be an adventurous journey through Jazz at Lincoln Center's history and into our future. We're grateful to have you along for the ride.
