GRAMMY winner, Terell Stafford, Music Director for the 43rd Sarasota Jazz Festival
Polymath and fearless voyager, explorer, pioneer and keeper of tradition
Unmatched signature sound, distinctive techniques, and funky performance style
Originality, versatility, and artistry to fine effect
The most influential figure in modern Afro-Cuban jazz
Exciting musical narratives with joyful swing with dynamic interplay
Sweet, funky, cute, and bad…an extraordinary performer
An energetic sound of blended vocal and instrumental styles
Broad tone and tenacious flow, clearly virtuoso talent
Keeping the hard bop and organ-soaked soul-jazz traditions alive.
