Night one is headlined by the acclaimed Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra\, under the music direction of alto saxophonist Sherman Irby\, featuring special guests Marquis Hill and Ekep Nkwelle. Special guests include Marquis Hill\, who hails from Chicago\, is one of the most exciting trumpet players working today and rising star Ekepe Nkwelle is a Cameroonian-American singer from Washington\, D.C.\, who’s already performed on NPR’s Tiny Desk and been named first runner-up at the prestigious Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Voice Competition.
