About the Program

Some of today's brightest jazz talents come out to pay homage to Grammy® winner, 2004 National Endowment of the Arts Jazz Master, and Washington, D.C. native Shirley Horn—whose trademark velvet vocals and smooth piano stylings have been enchanting international audiences for more than 40 years. For one performance only, vocalists Sheila Jordan, Kevin Mahogany, and Lizz Wright, trumpeter Jeremy Pelt, pianist Kenny Barron, vibist Stefon Harris, the Clayton Brothers Quintet, violinist Regina Carter, and other musical guests join this legendary queen of jazz piano and song to celebrate her amazing career.

Read the Washington Post article about the National Endowment for the Arts announcing Shirley Horn and others as 2004 Jazz Masters.

Please note: Dee Dee Bridgewater, originally scheduled to perform, is unable to appear due to unexpected circumstances.
