Mumford Theatre
As part of the our commitment to supporting and promoting jazz in schools, we are excited that immediately before Dennis Rollins’ gig with CUJO, two of our local schools’ jazz orchestras will be taking the stage to showcase their talents at the Cambridge Jazz Festival.
A chance for young musicians to kick the early evening off with arrangements of everything from standards to funk, and make their mark on a weekend dedicated to the big band sound.
