Sounds of jazz will emanate from the Tea Garden during Grand Hotel's Labor Day Weekend Jazz Festival, when Cuban-born trumpet player Arturo Sandoval headlines a weekend that includes composer, singer, lyricist, and writer Kurt Elling and jazz vocalist Nnenna Freelon.

Scheduled to perform Saturday, Mr. Sandoval has earned four Grammy awards, six Billboard awards and an Emmy Award. His Emmy was for his composing work on the underscore of a movie based on his life.

He also plays the flugel horn and is a renowned classical musician performing around the world with leading symphony orchestras.

His latest release "Live at the Blue Note" incorporates straightahead jazz, Acid-Jazz, and scat vocals.

Kurt Elling headlines Sunday's schedule with his baritone voice that spans four octaves. The Grammy nominee performs his own compositions and includes free form improvisation, poetry, scatting, and rants.

His next recording release is expected in February 2007.

Six-time Grammy nominee Nnenna Freelon will open for Mr. Elling. She also has won the Billie Holiday Award from the Academie du Jazz and is expected to perform song from her recording release "Blueprint of a Lady Sketches of Billie Holiday."

A mother of three, Ms. Freelon also is involved in educational outreach programs that support the well being of children.

Also performing at the festival will be singer Judy Roberts, pianists and Bob Seeley and Bob Baldori, the Choir Academy of Chicago, and Grand Hotel's orchestra led by Alex Graham.

Grand Hotel's newest restaurant, The Gatehouse on Cadotte Avenue, will serve as a venue for evening entertainment by the Dirty Dozen Brass Band.

Tickets for the Saturday and Sunday Tea Garden performances are $65 per person for each day and

include a buffet luncheon. Children under 12 are free if accompanied by an adult.

Evening concerts will be in the hotel's Theatre, Jockey Club, and Cupola Bar, and require guests to adhere to the hotel's dress code.
