The talents of these geniuses burned brightly not only through the movements they created, but also through their investment in and 'schooling' of young players - now seasoned and carrying the torch for their mentors.
Terri Pontremoli Executive and Artistic Director
The lineup features flame keepers Mulgrew Miller (world-renowned pianist and DJF 2010 Artist in Residence), trumpeter Terence Blanchard, saxophonist Branford Marsalis, conductor/composer Maria Schneider and master drummer Roy Haynes, along with a host of other leading national artists. In addition, DJF will continue the presentation of emerging artists, Detroit-based artists, an active Jazz Talk Tent and outstanding student ensembles.
While our lineup continues to evolve, the list below leaves no doubt - jazz will be burnin' on Labor Day Weekend.*
