Led by Artistic Director for Jazz Irvin Mayfield, Minnesota Orchestra Hall will bring such luminaries as Dee Dee Bridgewater, Branford Marsalis, Terence Blanchard and Maceo Parker to the 2010-2011 Piper Jaffrey Jazz at Orchestra Hall season, beginning in December. Now in its fourth season, the jazz series will focus on pairings—Bridgewater with Mayfield, Marsalis with Blanchard, and Parker with a special surprise guest to be announced later. 

International Cultural Ambassador for the city of New Orleans, trumpeter, composer and bandleader Irvin Mayfield was named the Minnesota Orchestra’s first Artistic Director for Jazz in 2008. A protégé of Wynton Marsalis, founder of the popular Los Hombres Caliente, and leader of the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra and his own quintet, Mayfield has taken his musical message of rebirth to venues worldwide, including a series of performances at Orchestra Hall over the past two seasons.
