Jazz in the Valley is a daylong celebration, held at two stages on a nine-acre green oasis in downtown Poughkeepsie. Will appears as a featured performer with Rachiim Ausar-Sahu's "Mi Afrika, Mi Corozon" project at the festival.

"This work represents a twenty-five year journey into some of the Afrikan cultural and religious sources of the jazz, blues and dance music expressions of the mid to late 20th century. The instrumentation of four horns, Afikan kora, piano, drum kit, expanded African and Latin percussion with 3 players, and vibraphone provides for a broad array of colors, textures and feels that point straight to Mother Afrika."

Will Calhoun - drums
Salieu Suso - Kora
Neil Clarke - African percussion
Ayanda Clarke - African percussion
Bryan Carrott - vibraphone
