2008 HEADLINER:
The Dizzy Gillespie™ Alumni All-Stars Big Band featuring Claudio Roditi on trumpet and Antonio Hart on saxophone and New York Voices vocalist Kim Nazarian. A veritable who's who among jazz musicians, was formed in the summer of 1998 to perform Dizzy Gillespie's classic big band repertoire and continue the legacy left by the late master.
Blessed with uncanny instrumental chops, a multi-lingual voice that is part angel and part siren, and a natural beauty that borders on the hypnotic, the 23-year-old prodigy-turned-pro Esperanza Spalding might well be the hope for the future of jazz and instrumental music.
MM4 Featuring Jim Robitaille, winner of the 9th Annual Thelonius Monk International Jazz Composers Competition. Funk, jam band, electronica, improv jazz.
The Black Eagles have been a fixture on the international jazz scene since 1971, bringing the sounds of traditional New Orleans Jazz to audiences all over the world. Premier band playing in the traditional jazz style.
