The St. Louis Jazz Club – Essentially Ellington Regional Festival
Dunham Hall on the campus of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville
The Essentially Ellington Regional Festival is an education-focused festival designed to offer high school jazz bands of all levels the opportunity to perform the music of Duke Ellington and other seminal big band composers and arrangers. Participating bands receive professional feedback from Jazz at Lincoln Center clinicians and other jazz professionals in their own backyard. This festival is a production of Jazz at Lincoln Center, the jazz studies program at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and is made possible through the generous support of The St. Louis Jazz Club.
