Everyone Has a Place
Everyone Has a Place is a musical documentary featuring a ground-breaking collaboration of jazz, gospel and vocals.
This body of work is entitled Abyssinian: A Gospel Celebration. It was composed by the American musical treasure Wynton Marsalis. This inspirational work of art was performed by a unique pairing of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis and choir Chorale Le Chateau. The film features a series of in-depth interviews, moving concert footage and a candid peek backstage. Everyone Has a Place is a toe-tapping, handclapping musical tapestry that will entertain, uplift and inspire. The work toured to 17 U.S. cities, with a full complement of 70 choral singers and the entire 15 member Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra led by conductor Damien Sneed.
