Featured compositions include the world premiere of Gene Pritsker’s Humbug Jitterbug, Melanie Mitrano/Gerson Galante’s Merrily Christmas featuring vocalist Melanie Mitrano, and Prisker's arrangement of Louis Jordan's classic Doug The Jitterbug that will feature drummer great Gerry Brown and a stellar cast of trumpet players including jazz legend Valery Ponomarev and piccolo trumpet virtuoso Franz Hackl.
