*2004 The Legends of Jazz with Handy Allstars; Photo not available.

**Note: The Handy Allstars are made up nationally and internationally known artists with a wealth of talent and musical experience who come home to Handy each year from all over the United States to play together in the Shoals area throughout Festival week. When they get together, it is difficult to believe that the only time these artists really have an opportunity to play together is during Festival Week, a wonderful testament to their abilities.
