Jason Marsalis With Diane Schuur September 30, 2011

The Celebration of Lionel Hampton is a phenomenal ensemble created by producer, Jacey Falk that features Hampton orchestra alumni and admirers of the Hampton songbook. Red Holloway, Candido, Curtis Fuller and Russell Gunn are all on the same stage as one unit to celebrate the music of a true “Jazz Icon”. Two-time Grammy Award winner Diane Schuur and American jazz drummer and composer Jason Marsalis will also join this extraordinary group. A longtime disciple of Dinah Washington and other legendary jazz singers of the ‘40s and ‘50s, Shuur’s rich, resonant vocals and mix of embracing both the jazz of her parents’ generation and the pop music of her youth during the late 1950’s and ‘60s, has led to an amazing career spanning nearly three decades.
