Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University presents JAZZ FEST, featuring 8 stylistically specific jazz combos, with Master of Ceremonies, CCPA Head of Jazz Studies, Paul Wertico.
Jazz music is an important art form, born in America and raised around the world, that comes in many shapes and sizes and it has been a vital means of entertainment and self-expression for nearly a century. Each style and period of jazz has its own distinct sound and feel, and offers both the performers and the audience a unique musical experience.
On Sunday, May 3rd at 2pm, the Jazz Studies Program of Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University, headed by Grammy Award winning drummer Paul Wertico, will present JAZZ FEST, a special afternoon concert featuring 8 of the school's small jazz groups. Each combo is coached by one or two of CCPA's distinguished faculty members and each will perform a specific style of jazz music.
If you're a jazz fan, or if you're interested in broadening your musical horizons, then CCPA's JAZZ FEST is a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
The event is open to all ages of the public and there's no cover, so come, listen and support the jazz artists of the future playing music of the past and present!
