Each year, prominent jazz artists are invited to campus to perform and conduct clinics. Recent guests include Arturo Sandoval, Nnenna Freelon, Wynton Marsalis, Joe Lovano, Bobby Shew, Poncho Sanchez, Eliane Elias, and many others. This year, the program welcomes composer Maria Schneider, trumpeter Jon Faddis, Art Lande, pianist Michael Weiss, Greg Gisbert & Rob Scheps, the Ron Miles Trio, pianist Erik Deutsch, and others.
