Southwest Jazz and Big Band at MPLS Fall Jazz Festival


Kudos to Corey Needleman, Greg Lewis and the members of the SW Big Band and Jazz Too for their work on Saturday at the 1st annual MPLS Fall Jazz Festival. 

Throughout the day over a hundred students representing the four southern high schools attended clinics in improvisation, master classes specific to their instrument and had opportunities for feedback from jazz professors from Winona State University and Mankato State University. 

The evening culminated with a mass band performance of a New Orleans style tune. Here's a short clip.
