Recorded in 2020 and released on Blue Engine Records, The Democracy! Suite is a timely and powerful statement from legendary trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra Septet. Rooted in Marsalis' belief that "jazz music is the perfect metaphor for democracy," this album channels the social and political climate of its era into a cohesive, deeply expressive musical work.

With evocatively titled compositions like "Ballot Box Bounce" and "Sloganize, Patronize, Realize, Revolutionize (Black Lives Matter)," The Democracy! Suite is instrumental jazz that carries an unmistakable sense of urgency and purpose. Featuring standout performances from an ensemble of world-class musicians including Walter Blanding, Ted Nash, Carlos Henriquez, and Elliot Mason, this is a bold and thought-provoking addition to any jazz collection.
