The Peabody Award-winning series of concerts is broadcastfrom the Frederick P. Rose Hall, the new jazz performance space at Lincoln Center in New York.

June 24
Trumpets and Trombones. The brilliant trumpeter Tom Harrell and legendary altoman Charles McPherson lead off with Jimmy Cobb (drums), Ray Drummond (bass), and Ronnie Matthews (piano). Then inventive New Orleans trumpeter Nicholas Payton brings his quintet, and trombonists Wycliffe Gordon and Ronald Westray lead their ensemble in "Bone Structure."

July 1
Wynton and Willie: True Blues Celebration —Wynton Marsalis and his Septet back Willie Nelson with harmonica whiz Mickey Rafael, in a set that won't stop rockin' till it reaches your heart. Nelson spins out breezy Carmichael and Ellington tunes, digs into early jazz, and sings his own "Nightlife." On "Ain't Nobody's Business" and "My Bucket's Got a Hole in It," Wynton sings too.

July 8
Stand-up For Jazz: Bill Cosby and Nancy Wilson —Punch lines meet brass lines: Comedian Bill Cosby hosts Nancy Wilson and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. We get stories, humor, and music. Wilson sings "Someone To Watch Over Me," and "A Foggy Day." Cosby remembers his childhood, Ray Charles and so much more. Drum roll please!

July 15
Bossa Nova: Half a Century and Still New —In 1958 the world was seduced by the Bossa Nova of João Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim. The romance continues today with Rosa Passos, whose perfect pitch and delicate rhythms grace the stage of The Allen Room.

July 22
Brazilian Rhythms: Today and Tomorrow —Don't lose the beat! Our celebration continues. Songwriter Ivan Lins, hailed as "the best since Jobim," joins guitarist Romero Lubambo' s Trio Da Paz and The New York Voices. Get a taste of Bossa Nova's future.

July 29
Swing Me a Song: Carmen Lundy —A classic from our archives hosted by the late Ed Bradley. Carmen Lundy grew up singing in church, went to school to sing opera, and then she heard Ella Fitzgerald. Now she digs into Ellington's "Come Sunday", "Sophisticated Lady" and her own love ballads.

August 5
The Singers Command the Band —Be brash! Jump in and join us when Freddy Cole and Ernestine Anderson romp with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Wynton Marsalis through "Chattanooga Choo-Choo," "Take the A Train," and "In the Mood." Guaranteed to cure the blues.

August 12
Singers over Manhattan: Tierney Sutton and Loston Harris —From the new crop of crooners: vocals by Tierney Sutton envelop the room. Harris wraps his voice in the notes of his keyboard. Their double bill at Frederick P. Rose Hall portends a bright future for the art of the song.

August 19
Gershwin Rhapsody: Michael Feinstein, Patti Austin, Marcus Roberts —George and Ira are well remembered: Singers Michael Feinstein and Patti Austin dig into "Nice Work" "Embraceable You" and "Lady Be Good." Marcus Roberts re-imagines "Rhapsody in Blue," and the Jazz at Lincoln Center and American Composers' Orchestras unite in a Gershwin Rhapsody.

August 26
Speaking in Jazz: Oscar Brown Jr., Gil Scott Heron, Yusef Komunyakaa —Verse and verve, when word-struck musicians and jazz-possessed poets share our stage. We feature one of Oscar Brown, Jr.'s last performances, including his lyrical "Round Midnight." Strong words from Gil Scott-Heron and Pulitzer Prize–winner Yusef Komunyakaa, punctuated by the saxophone of Sonny Fortune, Reggie Workman's bass, and Rashied Ali's drums.

September 2
So What About Eddie Jefferson? Carla Cook, Allan Harris, and the Eric Reed Trio —Eddie Jefferson didn't have a great voice, but he was a great jazz singer. Twisting lyrics through well-known jazz instrumentals, he created songs and a style all his own, transforming (James) "Moody's Mood for Love," Lester Young's "Paper Moon" into "Lester's Trip to the Moon;" and an infamous Miles track to "Miles Davis Walked Off the Stage." Jefferson died tragically in 1979. Vocalists Carla Cook and Allan Harris join pianist Eric Reed to honor the pioneer of vocalese.

September 9
John Coltrane/Johnny Hartman —On their legendary album, Johnny Hartman's lush vocals perfectly matched Coltrane's lyric tenor saxophone. Baritone Kevin Mahogany joins Todd Williams, one of today's great tenor sax men, to recreate classics from that 1963 collaboration, including "Dedicated to You," "Autumn Serenade" and "You Are Too Beautiful."

September 16
Womens' Voices in Swing: Nancy King, Claire Martin, Jane Monheit —Nancy King brings West Coast bebop humor to the very-New-York Allen Room with "What's New" and Monk's "Misterioso." British jazz singer Claire Martin summons up Shirley Horn, Ella Fitzgerald and other heavy hitters. Jane Monheit lifts off with Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing Trio on "Misty" and "As Time Goes By."

September 23
Cachao: The Tradition of Bajo, the Latin Jazz Bass —Israel "Cachao" Lopez, the late and legendary co-inventor of the mambo, takes the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra on an evolutionary tour of Afro-Cuban jazz. The Cuban bassist and composer propels younger bass men Andy Gonzalez and Ruben Rodriguez toward new directions in salsa and charanga.
