I wish I posted this earlier for you guys to see, but this year, there's probably the most young jazz cats, and others we talk about on this board, that I've seen at this fest in a while. So, if you can, I think it's def worth the trek up to the D. And its free.
Performers include: Wayne Shorter, Artist-in-Residence (performs 3 times) Herbie Hancock Miles Mosley Theo Croker Jack DeJohnette Quartet w/Medeski, Scofield, & Larry Grenadier (Brad Mehldau's bassist I believe) Cameron Graves Mark Guiliana Robert Hurst Vijay Iyer Regina Carter Stanley Clarke

damn y'all I forgot to mention Karriem Riggins. He's performing twice, once with Common and once with Esperanza Spalding. LOL, I forgot Spalding is performing with Shorter in one of his shows too.
