SFJAZZ High School All-Stars 2018-2019 CD

The SFJAZZ High School All-Stars is a top-tier training program presented by SFJAZZ Education. Participants are chosen by competitive audition each year from schools throughout the greater Bay Area. The All-Stars program is comprised of two ensembles: the Big Band, led by Paul Contos, and the Combo, led by Dann Zinn. Both ensembles rehearse weekly at the SFJAZZ Center, and take part in performances, recording sessions, festivals, and competitions each year, both in California and throughout the United States.
