The chart-topping contemporary jazz pioneers appear together, with special guest Al DeGregoris, for an evening that showcases their creative collaboration.

The pair recently collaborated on the highly successful smooth jazz CD “Bridges,” which All About Jazz cited as “a tour de force of finesse, artistry and simple old moxie.” DeGregoris, an emerging keyboardist and composer, adds his special touch to this lively evening.
