In the history of Jazz music, there is only one bandleader that has the distinction of having his orchestra still performing sold out concerts all over the world, with members personally chosen by him, for nearly 40 years after his passing. Pianist and bandleader William James “Count” Basie was and still is an American institution that personifies the grandeur and excellence of Jazz. The Count Basie Orchestra, today directed by Scotty Barnhart, has won every respected jazz poll in the world at least once, won 18 Grammy Awards, performed for Kings, Queens, and other world Royalty, appeared in several movies, television shows, at every major jazz festival and major concert hall in the world. 

Six-time GRAMMY® Award nominee Nnenna Freelon is a compelling artist and captivating performer with numerous accolades and activities including another GRAMMY® Award nomination for 2021’s Time Traveler! With her son Pierce Freelon, they made Grammy history by being the first mother and son nominated for the 64th GRAMMY® awards in separate categories. Their collaborative new recording, “AnceStars” (2023), marks her first family music recording with Pierce. Nnenna’s new podcast "Great Grief with Nnenna Freelon” garnered Ambie Awards in 2022 and 2021, her debut seasons. She received the 2022 Jazz Masters Award from the prestigious “Women’s Jazz and Blues Association of Palm Springs,” and more. In 2023, Nnenna continues to star in the critically acclaimed show Georgia on My Mind: Celebrating the Music of Ray Charles.
