Our jazz bands are taking the stage in December as in-person performances resume at Roosevelt! JB1 will perform its time-honored Jazz Nutcracker to the music of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn Dec. 4 at 7:30p.m. and Dec. 5 at 2pm. Then all four RHS jazz ensembles will show off their latest repertoire at Jazz Night, Thursday Dec. 9.

Seating will be assigned for all concerts and capacity will be limited in response to public health guidelines. We’ll be asking for volunteers to make these concerts a successful return to live performance!

All-Jazz Bands Retreat This Saturday!

by
The jazz retreat has always been a highlight of the school year, a special opportunity to play with students outside your usual ensemble and to receive feedback from top clinicians. And it’s back! This year’s retreat will take place at RHS all day Saturday Nov. 13 from 9am to 7pm. It will be an intense day of music, learning, socializing and fun!
Schedule includes a faculty concert before dinner, followed by a closing concert featuring vocal jazz students and three big bands.

GiveBIG to Roosevelt Jazz

We are developing fine musicians and compassionate young adults who understand and respect the history of this great Black American Art Form. It is an honor to play this music, and it is thanks to people like you that we offer high-quality jazz education to all of our students. Playing live once a week has required a major pivot. We are renting space at Phinney’s Neighborhood Center and providing students with all the required PPE. It is a thrill to be together again. Please, GiveBIG to Roosevelt Jazz.
