Mercer Island High School has a remarkable jazz orchestra, so we were very much looking forward to this live distillation of that band—the Mercer Island Jazz Combo. You’ll hear the students on saxophone, trombone, bass, drums and piano. Their mentor, Thomas Marriott is the featured trumpet player. This live KNKX Studio Session is hosted by our own Mary McCann. Hit ‘play.’
Since 2005, School of Jazz has demonstrated a commitment to jazz education; in fact, it’s one of the cornerstones of KNKX’s mission as the station’s signature community outreach program. School of Jazz provides mentorship, learning and performance opportunities to Western Washington middle school, high school and college jazz students. Since its inception, School of Jazz has directly impacted over 3,000 jazz students, band directors and professional musicians.
