17th Annual Rosslyn Jazz Festival Lineup

Regina Carter Simply put, Regina Carter is one of the most universally revered instrumentalists of her generation. The magnitude of her specific accomplishments is perhaps best illustrated by her being the first jazz musician and the first African American invited by the city of Genoa, Italy to play the priceless Guarneri del Gesu violin of classical music virtuoso and composer Nicolo Paganini, in December 2001.
Kevin Mahogany With his gift for bebop, ballads, blues and swinging jazz, vocalist Kevin Mahogany's talents emerged long before he was old enough to spell record deal. By age 12, Kevin had mastered the piano, clarinet and baritone saxophone.
Bobby Hutcherson Los Angeles born vibrahonist and composer Bobby Hutcherson is given credit- along with Gary Burton- for ushering the vibraphone into the modern era. Hutcherson's illustrious career includes collaborations with jazz great such as Jackie McLean, Charles Tolliver, Archie Shepp and many more.
Red Holloway Joining Mahogany for a "Big Joe Turner" tribute set is legendary Chicago-raised saxophonist Red Holloway. Bridging the parallel worlds of jazz and blues, Holloway has performed and recorded with such legends as Yusef Lateef, Dexter Gordon, B.B.
