Held annually the last weekend in February, the Jazz Summit features appearances by jazz musicians from throughout the nation and has even, on four occasions, attracted international artists (2000 - Delbert Bernabela, Ivan Quandus; 1994 - Jim Mair, Canada; 1995 - Delbert Bernabela, Ivan Quandus, and Carlos Bislip, Aruba, and Victor Mestas , Venezuela; 1996 - Ignacio Berroa, Cuba). School jazz bands and enthusiastic jazz aficionados from throughout the Midwest flock to Coe College to get clinics from the guests and to hear them perform. The Jazz Summit was founded in 1992 and continues a tradition of jazz festivals at Coe College that stretches back to the 1970's. During this period, the festival has grown from an afternoon event with an evening concert, to a two-day festival encompassing clinics, workshops, jam sessions, a jazz band competition which accommodates almost 1500 musicians from fifty different high school jazz bands, an awards ceremony, and the Grand Finale concert featuring the jazz ensemble from Coe College and performances by the guest artists.
Coe also has a long history of hosting jazz events in a concert setting. Recent guests have included Danny Barber, The Motion Poets, Richard Stoltzman, The United States Army Jazz Ambassadors, The Either/Orchestra, Bobby Shew, and Chick Corea with Bob Berg, John Patitucci and Gary Novak. And it's been a few years, but even the great Louis Armstrong has graced the stage of Sinclair Auditorium.
The
Coe College Jazz Summit is the place to be for Jazz at the end
of February. Jazz artists from around the nation convene to work
with high school and middle school jazz bands from throughout the state
and surrounding region, then demonstrate their own expertise in concert
with the Coe College Gold Jazz Ensemble. Your students will
receive a clinic on your competition repertoire from one of the fine
Jazz Summit clinicians, as well as have the opportunity to attend
instrument clinics. Concert tickets are FREE when ordered by mail
before December 1, 2010. Plan now to schedule your band for the
Coe College Jazz Summit 2011.
