André De Shields was presented the Bob Harrington Lifetime Achievement Award by his friend, famed choreographer George Faison, and then proceeded to bring down the house with his rousing closing set. He was backed by music director Larry Spivak and singers Marléne Danielle and Freida Williams, with an impromptu assist from Peter & Will Anderson. The evening began with jazz great Sheila Jordan, who was honored for her outstanding contributions to jazz.
