Playing to a sold out crowd for the last several years, established jazz masters and promising prodigies treat audiences annually to the Prairie State College Jazz Festival. The Jazz Festival concert is usually held in February.
Some of the nation’s top jazz artists have showcased at the event, including the sounds of famed Chicago trumpeter Orbert Davis and New Orleans saxophonist Ed Petersen. Other featured performers have included Larry Gray on bass and Joel Spencer on drums, and PSC’s own professor of music Valerie Nicholson.
The PSC Jazz Festival also brings together the area’s finest junior high and high school jazz musicians for two days of instrumental clinics led by the featured artists. Each year these clinicians offer their expertise and instruction in jazz technique.
