The San Luis Obispo County Jazz Federation was privileged to showcase the 2023 winners of our “Young Jazz” music scholarships on Sunday March 19 at 4pm at Mt. Carmel Lutheran Church in San Luis Obispo. The student musicians played individual and group selections, accompanied by Gary Drysdale on guitar, Ken Hustad on bass and Darrell Voss on drums. This program, started in 1983, awards scholarships to talented and deserving students from local high schools and colleges in an effort to further musical development and to keep the jazz tradition alive. The scholarships this year were funded in part by pianist David Norum.
The show was at 4 pm (with doors opening at 3:30). Tickets FREE but donations are encouraged and appreciated.
