The Oregon Jazz Festival, in it's seventh year, is a joint project of the Lane Community College and the University of Oregon jazz studies programs. During the day on Saturday, high school and middle school students from around the state gather to sharpen their jazz licks under the tutelage of a dozen Northwest jazz greats, and to hear the guests artists in concert. This is a real learning experience for the students, and participation is growing every year.
Ticket information for both concerts can be found at www.lanecc.edu/tickets
