In addition to Franklin's performance, Melody Gardot, a newly signed Verve artist, has been added to the Saturday line-up. Though the individual performances make this year's event one of the most highly anticipated jazz festivals in years, it's the incredible on-stage collaborations that will make it truly memorable. Some planned collaborations include three jazz greats � Charlie Haden, Bill Frisell and Ethan Iverson � who are joining forces for the first time on Saturday, August 9. Also on Saturday, there will be a special encore of the all-star quartet Dave Holland, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Chris Potter and Eric Harland, who made their legendary debut last year at the Monterey Jazz Festival. - more on this story
