More than 85 students from four high schools will perform at the Downtown Brooklyn High School Jazz Festival organized by the music program at Long Island University’s Brooklyn Campus. Legendary jazz trumpeter Cecil Bridgewater—former sideman with Max Roach and Horace Silver—will perform as a special guest with the LIU Jazz Ensemble and serve as one of the judges at the free event in the Campus’ Kumble Theater for the Performing Arts.
The Brooklyn Campus is located on Flatbush Avenue, between DeKalb Avenue and Willougby Street. The event is free and open to the public.
The bands participating in the festival are from Boys and Girls High School, Edward R. Murrow High School, Brooklyn High School for the Arts and the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts.
At the close of the event, the music program will present each student with a certificate of participation and each band director with a plaque.
