      This week the Discovery Zone will feature an educational exhibit entitled “Green Planet
      Kids Expo,” produced in cooperation with the Town of Vail’s Environmental
      Sustainability Department. At the Green Planet Expo kids will learn how our planet
      works and how we can help it to thrive in the future. They’ll meet a family of worms who       are the “Heroes of the Compost Pile,” and learn about the process of recycling and how it
      utilizes products at the end of their useful life to create something new. They will also
      learn how they can contribute to the chain of recycling objects from their lives. It is a
      station all about making our homes, our neighborhoods and our world a better and more
      sustainable place!

When Jacky Terrasson won the prestigious Thelonious Monk piano competition in 1993, he proceeded to lead one of the defining jazz piano trios of that decade. By the mid-'90s, Terrasson was being hailed as one of the bright young lions on the traditional jazz scene. His self-titled 1995 debut for Blue Note Records drew high praise from all corners of the jazz world. His feathery keyboard touch is coupled with a lot of power and passion, a complete understanding of the blues and improvisation, and Terrasson is also a gifted arranger. Terrason is joined on stage by drummer Jamire Williams and bassist Ben Williams.

For two decades, Curtis Stigers has demonstrated time and again that the lines between jazz, pop, soul, rock, blues and even country are not as clearly defined as they may seem. In a trajectory that began with pop/soul albums in the early ‘90s, the vocalist-saxophonist-songwriter has spent the past several years cementing his reputation as a formidable jazz singer – one who recognizes the value of the story within the song, and the countless ways in which that story can be told. Stiger’s distinctive voice and storytelling style allow the poetry of the lyrics to come through. Not at all a stranger to Vail, Stigers opened the 2008 Jazz at Vail Square concert series. Stigers will appear on August 26 with with fellow musicians Matthew Fries (piano) and Cliff Schmitt (bass).

Lead by Grammy winner and bassist John Clayton, this highly acclaimed jazz group includes saxophonist Jeff Clayton, pianist Bill Cunliffe, Terell Stafford on trumpet, and Lewis Nash on drums. The Quintet also serves as educators for the Vail Jazz Workshop, an intensive ten day clinic for 12 of the finest high school-aged jazz musicians in the country. Their unique learning experience culminates with their performance with the Clayton Brothers Quintet in Vail Square on September 3.
