ABOUT THE BAND: A pre-professional training program for current Bay Area high school age jazz musicians, the All-Stars rehearse and perform throughout the school year at the SFJAZZ Center, receive mentorship and clinics with leading jazz professionals, record a professional studio album, compose and arrange original music in addition to studying a wide range of repertoire, and appear at prestigious music festivals and competitions. Although it may be a cliché to boast that the future of jazz is in good hands, the skilled young musicians in our All-Stars program continue to earn accolades wherever they appear, including numerous Downbeat Awards, first place in The Portland Jazz Forward and Charles Mingus festivals, and so many more.
