About the Program

Grammy-winning ensemble New York Voices is renowned for its unique take on the vocal jazz tradition, often with Brazilian, R&B, classical, and pop influences. On New Year's Eve, they come together with the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band--a veritable who's who of jazz musicians including musical director and NEA Jazz Master Slide Hampton, Kennedy Center Living Jazz Legend and NEA Jazz Master Jimmy Heath (saxophone), Antonio Hart (saxophone), Claudio Roditi (trumpet), Douglas Purviance (trombone), and John Lee (bassist and Executive Director). After the performance, enjoy festive dancing, a countdown to 2009, and a balloon drop in the Grand Foyer, free with your concert ticket.
