tuesday: sLiDe haMPton Described by critics as a master composer, arranger and uniquely gifted trombone player, Slide Hampton’s career is among the most distinguished in jazz, performing with and composing and arranging for Art Blakey, Dizzy Gillespie, Barry Harris, Thad Jones, Mel Lewis and Max Roach, and touring with his octet in the 60s, which included stellar horn players Booker Little, Freddie Hubbard, and George Coleman. Mr. Hampton was named an NEA Jazz Master in 2005.

Wednesday: Dee aLexanDer Vocalist Dee Alexander’s talent spans every music genre, from Gospel to R&B, from Blues to Neo-Soul. Yet her true heart and soul are experienced in their purest form when she performs jazz. Equally adept in mainstream swing and outer-fringe experimentation, big-band jazz, and small-group fare, Alexander stands as a jazz vocalist for all occasions who has received critical acclaim for performances at festivals across the United States and around the world.
