University of the Pacific’s Conservatory of Music is excited to invite you to Pacific Jazz Festival. This annual event enables music students in local communities to enrich their knowledge and understanding of jazz music. Participation is open to all high-school and junior-college instrumental and vocal jazz ensembles and combos.
Pelt's is widely regarded as one of the preeminent trumpeters of his generation, known for a commanding sound often compared to jazz legends like Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan. He intentionally acts as a bandleader for younger musicians—often a few decades his junior—passing down institutional jazz knowledge through performance.
$400—group registration fee
Each registered group will perform for 30 minutes. Each performance will be followed by a clinic where Pacific's jazz faculty and guest clinicians will provide feedback.
