The Monterey Jazz Festival once again sends six of its jazz ambassadors to Berkeley as part of its touring program. Multiple-Grammy-winning vocalists Dee Dee Bridgewater and Kurt Elling bring swing standards, moody ballads, bop favorites, and Latin hits to life. The band is led by pianist Christian Sands, with saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin (Missy Elliott, Alicia Keys), and the rhythm section of bassist Yasushi Nakamura (Wynton Marsalis, Hank Jones) and drummer Clarence Penn (Betty Carter, Maria Schneider).
