Our first event of the 26/27 season is officially in the books! 3 concerts and 2 educational events over 3 days.

This was our first chance to take the Musicians out to a local school for our Jazz Forward program, and it was a resounding success! We're so thankful to the music educators in the valley who stepped up to ensure that we had a great turnout - and boy did we! The students were attentive with great questions, and the Rocky Mountain High School jazz band did a great job playing a few songs and getting feedback from the professionals they can use for festivals later in the season.

Our next group is Zaccai Curtis: Cubop Lives, November 1 and 2. Link in bio for tickets!

First two concerts in the books for the Warren Wolf Quintet! Feedback is that Peabody has now been added to the list of schools to watch for. 😉

Tomorrow we have a free event with the band at the Sapphire Room from 4-5:30pm. They will play a few songs, answer some questions, and hopefully some local students/musicians will get up and jam with the band. Open to the public!

We also have one last concert tomorrow night at 6:30pm. There are still a few seats available.
