12:00 pm – Thaddeus Tukes Quartet
The Chicago Tribune said this musician and composer “brings poetry to the vibraphone.” A graduate of Northwestern University, where he pioneered the first degree in jazz vibraphone studies, Tukes currently performs as a bandleader and special guest with various ensembles throughout the country.
1:30 pm – Victor Garcia’s Latin Jazz Septet
This acclaimed young trumpeter from Chicago released his debut album, “The Grind/The Groove,” in 2018. He’s recorded on dozens of other albums, three of them Grammy-nominated.

A world-class tenor saxophonist, this Chicagoan holds three Grammys and has shared stage or studio with the likes of Miles Davis, Randy Brecker, David Sanborn and Jimmy Chamberlin.
4:15 pm – Big Shoulders Brass Band
Our festival calls for a New Orleans-style street parade and BSBB will give us one! They’ll play a short set, too, showcasing a uniquely Chicago form of jazzy Dixieland funk.
4:45 pm – Count Basie Orchestra
Count Basie, a jazz legend, continues to captivate audiences worldwide even decades after his passing. The Count Basie Orchestra, now led by Scotty Barnhart, has earned 18 Grammy Awards and performed at prestigious jazz festivals and concert halls globally. Joining them is renowned jazz vocalist Vanessa Rubin.
