Victor Goines - 'The Woodlawn Suite'

Enjoy a new big band gem by an under-recorded artist.

Marilyn Lester/NiteLifeExchange: “...Reed player-composer, Victor Goines, has created the thoughtful and thoroughly magnificent The Woodlawn Suite, which debuted in July 2022,” and now has an album release. “Every movement of The Woodlawn Suite is a stand-alone gem.” Woodlawn Cemetery is in NYC and is the final home for several jazz luminaries, e.g. Duke Ellington and many bandmates.

Victor Goines is co-founder of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, with Wynton Marsalis. This is his ~11th album since 1992. He has been director of jazz studies at Julliard and Northwestern University.
