Commissioned in 2017 for the 175th Anniversary of the New York Philharmonic, THE JUNGLE is Wynton Marsalis's fourth symphony and is now available as a record on all streaming services.
THE JUNGLE is about what we see in our city today—the beautiful, the bleak, and the ever-present but often-overlooked commonalities of our shared humanity.
Originally recorded January 12, 2019.
