The show opens with a celebration of Sonny Rollins on his 95th birthday, featuring a classic 1954 recording with Thelonious Monk. With students across Philadelphia settling into a new school year, the next set offers a "homework-inspired" segment features selection from Dizzy Gillespie, Johnnie Taylor, Ornette Coleman, Matthew Muñeses, Marian McPartland, and Thelonious Monk. Over Labor Day weekend, the DC Jazz Festival brought world-class performances to the waterfront stages along the Wharf in Washington, DC. The atmosphere was electric—blue skies, river breezes, and an audience eager for live music. The second half of the program highlights artists from this year's festival lineup such as pianist Emmet Cohen, vocalist Jazzmeia Horn, Philadelphia saxophonist Hiruy Tirfe, Branford Marsalis, The Sun Ra Arkestra, and the Eddie Palmieri Latin Jazz Tribute Band.
