Stanford University, Stanford Jazz Festival 2018

SJW Jazz Institute Showcase

Enjoy a mini-festival of jazz, performed by musicians of all ages, from all over the world. In four convenient venues, you can hear dozens of instrumentalists and vocalists performing everything from cool jazz to bebop, and from standards to original songs. All are participants in Stanford Jazz Workshop’s famed Jazz Institute, a full-time, weeklong immersion experience designed to bring major league jazz talent together with rising stars and developing artists. Many of today’s best-known jazz musicians got their start in this program, including Joshua Redman, Taylor Eigsti, Ravi Coltrane, Julian Lage, Ambrose Akinmusire, Larry Grenadier, and others. Following the Showcase events of the previous two weeks, this show is the culmination of a summer of jazz study and growth for many of these musicians. Come discover the next generation of jazz greats —, and the music is certain to amaze and delight!
