Also performing throughout the day will be jazz bands from local junior and senior high schools from San Angelo and Grape Creek as well as a variety of other jazz ensembles featuring area musicians. The performances will begin at 10 a.m. at the ASU Pavilion with a performance by Ice House, a local brass quintet. The group is recognized for the unique excitement generated during performances of a wide variety of music and styles from the classics of Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Woody Herman to the more contemporary sounds of Rob McConnell, Bob Mintzer and Frank Mantooth. The students were chosen by audition to perform in this special jazz ensemble. They meet regularly to rehearse and will be featured in their debut performance at the ASU Jazz Festival.
All events are free and open to the public.
