A few adjustments have been made to the schedule and lineup for this year’s Iowa City Jazz Festival.
The biggest change is for the Sunday schedule. Stacey Kent and the Donny McCaslin Group have traded time slots. Kent will now perform at 6pm, and McCaslin will close the Festival, taking the stage at 8pm.
The Cookers have announced that saxophonist Donald Harrison is unable to perform with the group. Stepping in is Jaleel Shaw. Shaw was the Downbeat 2014 Rising Star Saxophonist, and spent many years as a member of drummer Roy Haynes’ band. He’s also no stranger to Iowa City, returning to the Festival after a 2014 appearance with Tom Harrell Colors of a Dream.
