This year, they transport you to the hot, sultry nights of our southern neighbors with the sizzling sounds of Latin Jazz.. Artistic director and alto sax virtuoso Jim Carroll’s long and distinguished career has included performances with the likes of Michael Jackson, Nancy Wilson, Maynard Ferguson, Billy Taylor, Woody Herman and His Thundering Herd, and the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra.
