School may be cancelled today, but you can pass the time by watching the latest video from the Corridor Jazz Project 2019 recording sessions, featuring the Jefferson High School (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) Jazz Ensemble, directed by Chad Allard.
Guest soloist is Chris Jensen, drums, performing “Spirit of New Orleans” by Andy Classen for the 2019 Corridor Jazz Project CD.
Also, featured solos from Zac Goodall, sax, Riley Walton, trumpet, and Shannon Morgan, trombone.
Chris Jensen, Cedar Rapids native and Xavier High School grad, is one of only two musicians who participated in the Corridor Jazz Project as students and have returned as guest artists!
Classen, director of the Drake University jazz program, spends a lot of time in the Corridor as principal trumpet for Orchestra Iowa, and is a past Corridor Jazz guest artist himself.
