Joe Lovano is one of the most accomplished saxophonists in all of jazz. This Grammy nominated artist has recorded over twenty albums for the Blue Note label and has been called one of the greatest musicians in jazz history by Ben Ratliff of The New York Times. http://www.joelovano.com/

Saxophonist Harry Allen has over thirty recordings to his name. Three of Harry's CDs have won Gold Disc Awards from Japan's Swing Journal Magazine, and his CD Tenors Anyone? won both the Gold Disc Award and the New Star Award. http://www.harryallenjazz.com.

*After 37 years Jack Kleinsinger is calling it quits. May 13, 2010 will be the last Highlights show making this an even 300 Highlights In Jazz concerts presented by Jack Kleinsinger. His decision is not an artistic one, he would like to continue to produce Highlights, but a financial one.  Jack says “if someone can come up with the financing necessary to produce the annual series he’ll continue, but with cuts in arts funding and private sponsorships for jazz down it’s not likely I’ll continue.”
