Join musician/producer, Tucson Pops Orchestra conductor, and Tucson Jazz Festival Executive Director Khris Dodge for an insider’s view of the artists who will appear at the upcoming Tucson Jazz Festival. We’ll learn about their artistic development as we take a look (and listen) to the jazz greats who influenced them.  Discover new artists who are carrying forward the traditions of Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, Tito Puente, Oscar Peterson, and the many legendary musicians from New Orleans. From Dixieland to Fusion, the past, present and future are woven together in the continuing evolution of this uniquely American art form.
