Jackson High School Jazz Band | Forte Ep. 205

WKAR
Jackson High Scool Jazz Band

Jackson jazz students have limited rehearsal time, so nerves run high at state festival. WATCH NOW

Jackson jazz students graduated most of their seniors last year, so the band is comprised of mostly underclassman. And since jazz is not a scheduled class, students rehearse after school. Includes full preview performances of "West Coast Blues," by Wes Montgomery and "The Mooche," by Duke Ellington, recorded in WKAR Studio A at Michigan State University. Hosted by WKAR's Peter Whorf.
