The program will feature Giddens playing with Hollywood banjoists Steve Martin and Ed Helms, along with a reunion of the all-female banjo supergroup Our Native Daughters.

In 1978, he joined the supergroup Milestones Jazzstars with Tyner, Rollins and Ron Carter, and made his debut as a bandleader that same year with “Mixed Roots.”

Thompson is checking in over Zoom from a Los Angeles hotel room, visiting the city during a short “Tonight Show” hiatus to spend some time with Stevie Wonder as he works on his next feature project, about 1970s R&B supergroup Earth, Wind & Fire.

Within days of the disaster, a supergroup including Gerry Marsden, Rick Wakeman, the Who's John Entwistle, Phill Lynott, Motorhead and the Nolans joined a number of TV and sports stars on a new version of the classic terrace anthem.

He’s lent his signature urgent, momentous vocals to tracks by Massive Attack, Leftfield and Run the Jewels, and even found time to hook up with Faith No More and Mr. Bungle mastermind Mike Patton and Doseone in the supergroup Nevermen.
