Got that swing?

It’s not too early to reserve your spot for Wynton Marsalis’s winter concert.

Tickets for the sure-to-be-sold-out Feb. 10, 2008, “Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis” show at Jesse Auditorium go on sale to the general public July 2. But anyone who makes a tax-deductible contribution of $50 or more to the nonprofit “We Always Swing” Jazz Series immediately qualifies for early ticket purchase. Donations to the organization’s “300/$100 – 600/$50 Challenge” fund-raising campaign help support 2007/2008 Jazz Series concerts, music scholarships funds and local educational programs, including the Columbia Public Schools “Jazz in the Schools” initiative.

Jazz supporters can call the box office at (573) 449-3001 to simultaneously make pledges and place ticket orders.
