The 20th anniversary of the festival came in 2000 and to celebrate, what better than to dance to the rhythms of the Lincoln Jazz Center Orchestra, conducted by Wynton Marsalis in an Antique Theatre temporarily transformed into a dance hall. The festival paid homage to Louis Armstrong with an incredible group of trumpet players: Wynton Marsalis, Freddie Hubbard, Roy Hargrove, Terence Blanchard, Jon Faddis, Randy Brecker, Lew Soloff and Irakli.
