For Immediate Release

Columbia, SC...This holiday season, ETV brings the genius of jazz virtuoso Wynton Marsalis and award-winning luminaries Glenn Close and S. Epatha Merkerson of “Law and Order,” to viewers across the Palmetto State.

On Monday, Dec. 10 at 8 p.m., LIVE From Lincoln Center presents “Jazz @ Lincoln Center: Red Hot Holiday Stomp.”  This annual concert is a memorable evening of toe-tapping music and storytelling.

Hosted by Emmy Award-winning actress Glenn Close, the program also features the broadcast premiere of “Music, Deep Rivers in My Soul,” a collaboration between Marsalis and Maya Angelou, which will be read by multiple award-winning actress S. Epatha Merkerson of “Law & Order.”  The arrangement was inspired by an original poem by the celebrated poet.

Also appearing with Marsalis in the two-hour-long Big Easy-style celebration are Wycliffe “Pinecone” Gordon, Wess “Warmdaddy” Anderson, Victor Goines, Joe Temperley, “Papa” Don Vappie, Reginald Veal, Dan Nimmer and Herlin Riley.

LIVE From Lincoln Center, entering its 32nd broadcast season, has received 12 Emmy Awards and was honored with two 2006 nominations for its broadcasts of “Jazz at Lincoln Center – Higher Ground Hurricane Relief Benefit Concert” and “A Lincoln Center Special: 30 Years of LIVE From Lincoln Center.”
