In addition to their artistic contributions, both are heading important cultural institutions: Marsalis leads Jazz at Lincoln Center and Jones is the artistic director of New York Live Arts.

Jones and Marsalis come together to discuss some of the most intriguing questions they face as artists and arts administrators. They will speak about artistic challenges, such as using tradition versus experimentation, maturing with an art form, the role of the artist today, and the challenges of being a working artist while leading an arts organization.
