Traditionally, musicians acclaimed worldwide will take part in the festival, including the Oz Noy Trio with legendary Dennis Chambers and Jimmy Haslip, British band MF ROBOTS and Italian band SugarPie & Candymen.

Haslip was born December 31st, 1951 in Bronx, New York. He grew up in Huntington, Long Island. In 1978, he met guitarist Robben Ford and keyboardist Russell Ferrante and formed a group to record Robben's first solo recording on Electra-Asylum. This critically acclaimed album, called "The Inside Story" became a landmark recording. That album led to the formation of The Yellowjackets and in 1980 they recorded a debut album for Warners Bros. Records. Yellowjackets, the two time Grammy winners, have been nominated for seventeen Grammys.
