She worked with all the jazz greats, from Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Nat King Cole to Frank Sinatra, Dizzy Gillespie and Benny Goodman.

Headlining the festival, back by popular demand, is GRAMMY Award winner Poncho Sanchez for an exclusive Summer 2010 Southwest concert. More than anything, Sanchez is a storyteller.
