Local drummer and bandleader John Lumpkin will performa as well.
But the big news: Herbie Hancock. A multi-instrumentalist and architect of post-bop best known for his playful experimentation with synthesizers and flirtation with electronic music on the monumental jazz-funk fusion opus Head Hunters, Hancock will perform on Friday, May 27.
