Annie Ross to appear at JazzAscona 2006

The great Annie Ross will be at JazzAscona New Orleans & Classics 2006 (Ascona, Switzerland,  June 23 - July 2, 2006).
Rising to fame in the 50s through the group Lambert, Hendricks and Ross, she figures into the list of top artists at the festival. Besides Ross, who returns to Ascona to ascend the European scene after a long absence, the festival announces the band of trumpeter Warren Vaché (for whom Ascona has become a second home), the great New York saxophonist Harry Allen, and a plethora of musicians from New Orleans. 

The festival will be dedicated to the Delta City, struck by hurricane Katrina,  and will embrace the return of one of the Ascona public's favorites, singer Big Al Carson, as part of Mark Brooks' New Orleans All Stars. The entire program will be announced in mid- April.
