The program includes selections from jazz legends Count Basie, Sammy Nestico, Lou Marini and popular acts including Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind & Fire, Average White Band, Tower of Power and more.
 
Special guest artists include local jazz virtuoso George Faber and the Touch of Gold, the auxiliary and twirling line for the Apache Band.
