The Festival's 2009 jazz headliner, Pittsburgh native Ahmad Jamal is recognized as one of the most creative pianists of the past two generations. Miles Davis, Jack DeJohnette, and Keith Jarrett all cite Ahmad as a major influence on their playing. Manolo Badrena, James Johnson III, and James Cammack joined Mr. Jamal for an unforgettable evening of jazz at the Majestic Theater.

The 2009 jazz lineup was rounded out with New Orleans flavored jazz by Ed Wise, toe tapping tunes by the Buzz Jones Big Band, an energetic performance featuring performance featuring bass clarinets Paul Austerlitz and Afro-Cuba jazz drummer Babatunde Lea, plus the critically-acclaimed jazz musicians of the Mason-Dixon Jazz Camp.

– John William “Buzz” Jones, Artistic Director for Jazz
