Red Holloway's United Alto Summit featuring Red Holloway, Frank Morgan, Charles McPherson, and Greg Osby

Main Stage - Sunday 2pm

Red Holloway
James "Red" Holloway has had a star-studded career -- performing with Dexter Gordon, Lionel Hampton, Jack McDuff, Billie Holiday, Ben Webster, Sonny Rollins, and Lester Young. He's best known for his partnership with Sonny Stitt and currently is one of the busiest musicians on the international stage. He has his own unique style and look and he knows how to seduce crowds with his sound. He is a soul artist by heart… way before “soul” was a term people applied to popular music.

Frank Morgan
Frank Morgan, poll-winning alto saxophonist and Bird’s protégé, is one of the living masters of bebop and ballads. Fully recovered from his 1998 stroke, Frank is playing better than ever and getting great reviews from critics and recent presenters alike. His CD “City Nights” and the sequel “Raising the Standard” (both recorded live for High Note at the Jazz Standard in NYC), spent many weeks in the Top Ten on the JazzWeek radio chart, and Frank's latest CD, “Reflections”, hit #3 on the chart.

McPherson remains a strong, viable force on the jazz scene today. He is at the height of his powers. His playing combines passionate feeling with intricate patterns of improvisation. Throughout his four decades of being an integral performer of the music, Charles has not merely remained true to his BOP origins, but has expanded on them.
