Now you do, with the first annual College Town Jazz Fest!

As part of Music Worcester’s Audience Development Committee mission, and also as part of its mission to reach out to Worcester area college students, MW is collaborating with the Colleges of Worcester Consortium to promote an intercollegiate event during the week between its two major 2008 jazz performances ~ the Monterey Jazz Festival’s 50th Anniversary Tour at Mechanics Hall on Tues., Feb 26, and Kendrick Oliver & The New Life Jazz Orchestra’s “A Tribute to Lionel Hampton” at Tuckerman Hall on Mar. 1. Clark University has been chosen as the first host for the college jazz groups (confirmed so far are a WPI and a Clark jazz ensemble) this year; they will be having a jam session and concert on Wednesday, Feb. 27th at The Grind on the Clark campus at 950 Main Street. The event is FREE and FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS ONLY. All college students are invited can take advantage of Music Worcester’s special student pricing and log in their WOO cards at the event to accumulate points toward qualifying for that month’s prize drawing. Evan Goodrow (check out www.evangoodrow.com for more info) will be headlining the concert portion of the evening and Clark will also be providing some refreshments for the artists and audience.

This is YOUR JazzFest so come out and have fun ~ bring your Woo card, head out to The Grind, and get ready for some great music and mingling!
