In October 2015, PJP presented a tribute concert for two talented Philadelphia artists; saxophonist Bill Barron & trumpeter, Ted Curson, who were in the thick of things during what was called, "The New Thing" in Jazz in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The concert featured the Makanda Project, a 13 piece Boston-based big band & an ensemble, specially organized for this occasion called Quicksand; led by trumpeter Matthew Stewart w/ special guests Carol Harris, Mark Griffith & Sam Reed.
