Featuring Sean Mason, Kim Nalley and Sasha Dobson

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate 100 years of Disney through the lens of Jazz.

When You Wish Upon a Star will be performed by the newly created house band of The National Jazz Museum in Harlem, featuring pianist and musical director, Sean Mason, and vocalists Kim Nalley and Sasha Dobson, who will bring these famous songs to life.
