One of the largest jazz festivals in Southwest Washington, the annual three day Clark College Jazz Festival will take place Thursday, Friday and Saturday, January 30, 31 and February 1, 2014 at Clark College Gaiser Hall.
“As rich as the heritage of Clark College itself, the Clark College Jazz Festival has been host to one of the largest jazz festivals in Southwest Washington for over 50 years! Held the last weekend in January in Gaiser Hall on the beautiful Clark College campus, the festival attracts over 60 middle and high school instrumental jazz ensembles for the three day competitive festival. On the final evening of the festival, one band from the entire festival is selected to receive the coveted Sweepstakes Trophy, a tradition which has been passed down since 1963. ” ~Clark College, Vancouver, WA
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of talented young musicians we have here in Vancouver, Clark County, and surrounding areas. Who knows, in a few years we may be seeing some of these performers at the Vancouver Wine and Jazz Fest!
