Patti Austin, vocals; Terence Blanchard, trumpet; Ravi Coltrane,
saxophone; Gerald Clayton, piano; Joe Sanders, bass; Justin Brown,
drums The revered Monterey Jazz Festival compiles an all-star lineup
of its best and brightest for a dazzling program that romps through
jazz past, present, and future. Grammy-winning R&B and jazz vocalist
Patti Austin has most recently lent the "gorgeous, gutsy power"
(JazzTimes) of her voice to the repertoire of Ella Fitzgerald and
songs by the Gershwins. And festival veterans New Orleans trumpeter
Terence Blanchard and saxophonist Ravi Coltrane join forces with the
next-generation rhythm section of pianist Gerald Clayton, bassist Joe
Sanders, and Berkeley High alum Justin Brown on drums, who have both
passed through Monterey's prestigious education program and gone on to
stellar careers.
