Our Performers
More than 20 groups representing high schools, community colleges and middle schools throughout Puget Sound and Washington will be performing a variety of vocal, big band and small combo jazz in non-competitive atmosphere encouraging improvisation and enjoyment of music for the performers and audience.
An Encore For The Community
Many of these groups, spend the Spring going from competition to competition being judged and scored... however at EJC it's time for them to relax and play an encore for their families, friends and neighbors before they wrap up their academic year.
In addition, each year we invite professional jazz musicians to host jam sessions where students can play with and learn from their mentors.
