<h6>WYNTON MARSALIS</h6>
Wynton Marsalis(Music Director, Trumpet) is the Managing and Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center(JALC). Born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1961, he is the son of renowned jazz pianist and music educator Ellis Marsalis, Jr. Marsalis was gifted his first trumpet at age six by Al Hirt; soon thereafter, he began playing in New Orleans’ famed Fairview Baptist Church Bandled by banjoist Danny Barker. However, it wasn’t until he turned twelve that Marsalis began to formally train on the trumpet and perform in bands throughout the city, from the New Orleans Philharmonic and New Orleans Youth Orchestra to funk bands, concert bands, and small jazz ensembles. As a teenager, his passion for music rapidly escalated. In 1979, at the age of seventeen, Marsalis moved to New York City to study classical trumpet at The Juilliard School. Yet he quickly entrenched himself in New York’s effervescent jazz scene, launching his career with the legendary Art Blakey &amp;The Jazz Messengers. At just nineteen, Marsalis hit the road with his own band—he has been touring the world ever since. From 1981 to the time of this writing, he has performed 5,328 concerts in 856 distinct cities and 66 countries around the world.
Wynton Marsalis’ core beliefs and foundation for living are based on the principles of jazz. He promotes individual creativity (improvisation), collective cooperation (swing), gratitude and good manners (sophistication), and facing adversity with persistent optimism (the blues).

Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut welcomes the public to an Open House on Wednesday, July 15th, to celebrate their new office location at One Bailey Circle, New London.


Sarah Lufler, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity, credits community volunteers, Habitat homeowners gaining sweat equity, and corporate and nonprofit organizations donating their time to construction for making the move to the new building possible. “More than 50 volunteers gave over 750 hours of construction labor to the Bailey Circle remodel to help make this happen,” Lufler notes, “Habitat’s new headquarters involves much more than a change of address. It signals the growth of our organization and reflects the critical need for affordable homeownership in Eastern Connecticut. One Bailey Circle will be the place families seeking housing stability will begin their journey.”







One Bailey Circle formerly housed Sun Turtle Office Furniture. Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut was located at 377 Broad Street for over three decades prior to a 2 year move to the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern CT’s Regional Innovation Center. It was the goal of the organization to build a functional and accessible space for future Habitat families and to serve the community and housing continuum well into the 21st century.





Area residents, members of the business community, local officials, prospective homeowners and others are encouraged to attend the Open House for a chance to tour the building and learn more about the Habitat mission.


Those who plan to attend the event are asked to email <a href="https://engage@habitatect.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">engage@habitatect.org</a> by July 13th.
Walk-ins will be welcome.
