Things kick off with vocalist Sheila Landis and her Brazilian Fantasy at noon, followed by saxophonist Wendel Harrison and his quartet at 1:15. At 2:15 another local saxophone great, Larry Nozero joins forces with organist Lyman Woodard. At 4:15 Lyman Woodard Organization alumna violinist Regina Carter returns to this area from New York with her quintet. Carter continues to draw raves in the national jazz press and is generally considered the brightest star on the jazz fiddle horizon.
