Arturo Sandoval (11/9-11): A protégé of the legendary jazz master Dizzy Gillespie, Arturo Sandoval first came to fame as a founding member of Grammy award-winning group Irakere, whose explosive mixture of jazz, classical, rock and traditional Cuban music caused a sensation throughout the entertainment world.

Bob Andrews of The Rumour (11/19-20), w/ The Les Paul Trio (11/21): Since his early days with the Rumour (with whom he has two albums in Rolling Stone's "Top 100 Albums of All Time"), Graham Parker has coupled punk's energy with his deeply rooted love of American R&B, country and soul music.
