Daren Atwater, the new artistic director of the Monterey Jazz Festival, has expanded the festival's music offerings to highlight gospel and local Baltimore/D.C. talent.
Atwater emphasizes the importance of understanding a combo's individual musicians over simply focusing on the bandleader to discover hidden gems at the festival.
Monterey Jazz Festival focuses on fostering connections and diverse musical influences, with an aim to showcase performers who might not typically have a platform.
Among the festival highlights, G. Thomas Allen's debut as the first male winner of the Sarah Vaughan competition promises to deliver a sweet-toned performance.
