At the end of January, 2016, the University of Washington presented its 1st Annual Jazz Festival for High School Jazz Ensembles and Combos. To help draw attention to this first festival a jazz quartet called The Intension came to KPLU for a live studio session. The members of the band are all U-W seniors in the Jazz Studies Program and they did more than draw attention to the event. They set the bar for excellence—for that festival and all the U-W festivals that will follow. Prepare to be amazed.
