Marcus Roberts Trio and Catherine Russell

Three-time GRAMMY-nominated vocalist Catherine Russell is known for her mastery of swing, blues, and early jazz. The daughter of musical pioneers Luis Russell and Carline Ray, she released the live album Live At Jazz At Lincoln Center, honoring vintage jazz traditions with an ensemble and special guest tap dancer.

Marcus Roberts Trio, with pianist Marcus Roberts (Jacksonville, Florida), bassist Rodney Jordan, and drummer Jason Marsalis, redefines jazz. Known for virtuosic style and telepathic communication, they blend jazz and classical idioms. Roberts, a Helen Keller Award recipient, was profiled on CBS's "60 Minutes". Notable albums include "Portraits in Blue" and "New Orleans Meets Harlem, Vol. 1". Roberts also collaborated with Wynton Marsalis.
