US JAZZ legend Wynton Marsalis has cancelled tomorrow’s Swing Symphony in Caracas and other concerts in Venezuela, Jazz at Lincoln Centre executive director Greg Scholl confirmed today.
The New York-based trumpeter and composer had been scheduled to lead a series of workshops with Venezuela’s world-famous El Sistema network of youth ensembles.
Mr Scholl said that the visit would be rescheduled at a later date to avoid becoming a distraction amid recent political turmoil between Caracas and Washington.
