Featured musicians include trumpeter Orbert Davis, drummer Ernie Adams, bassist Larry Gray and saxophonist Ari Brown, as well PSC’s Professor of Music Valerie Nicholson on piano. 

“This year, we are thrilled to have Ari Brown join the team. Not only is he a master musician, he brings a wealth of experience as a teacher for the visiting schools,” said Nicholson, who also coordinates the festival.
