Internationally Ellington Tickets

Internationally Ellington is a dynamic 15-piece jazz ensemble drawn from international and Juilliard‑leaning musicians, led by pianist and music director Joe Block. A Juilliard graduate and a winner of the Essentially Ellington composition competition, Block helms a group that bridges the classic Ellington canon with contemporary voices from today’s jazz scene. The ensemble is part of Jazz at Lincoln Center’s 2023–24 residencies, underscoring Ellington’s global influence and ongoing relevance. Expect a sound that honors Duke Ellington’s legacy while inviting fresh voices into the conversation.

With a repertoire that blends beloved Ellington compositions with original works, Internationally Ellington showcases the breadth of modern jazz interpretation. Notably, Jarien Jamanila, a program alumnus, contributed works to FOJO arrangements and released Jarien Plays Jamanila in 2024 on Jamanila Records. Jamanila’s 2024 single Hipnosis also gained traction, highlighting the ensemble’s role in nurturing new jazz voices that resonate with contemporary audiences.
