The 27th Annual Frank Mantooth Jazz Festival at New Trier High School will take place Saturday, February 6th, 2010. The Mantooth festival is one of the largest, most highly non-competitive high school jazz festivals in the country, featuring some of the finest and most dedicated music educators, as well as many of the country's most accomplished jazz musicians.
The festival kicks off at 8:30 AM and will conclude with the evening concert featuring New Trier's Jazz Ensemble 1, followed by The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra. Since 1966 the VJO, founded by Thad Jones and Mel Lewis (originally named the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra) has been holding court every Monday night at the Village Vanguard, the oldest and most famous jazz club in the world! We are thrilled to welcome the VJO to New Trier, and are certain that their performance will be memorable.
A very limited number of tickets are still available for the evening concert. Click HERE for online ticket sales. This concert sells out every year, so please get your tickets quickly! All tickets are reserved seating. Tickets are $30.
