Jazz trumpeter Jon Faddis is the featured performer at the 39th annual Jazz on the Upper Great Plains Festival today and Tuesday at Augustana College's Kresge Recital Hall. Faddis met Dizzy Gillespie at the age of 15 and joined Lionel Hampton's big band shortly after his 18th birthday. Time Out New York has praised Faddis as the "world's greatest trumpeter...brash soloistic logic and breathtaking technical acuity."
