Stanford Jazz Workshop All Star Jam Session

The annual defining event of the Stanford Jazz Festival experience is the All Star Jam Session. The tradition of "jamming"—musicians crowded on a stage casually contesting one another in friendly extended improvisational sessions—is one of the hallmarks of jazz. And rarely will such a combination of competition and camaraderie equal the diverse, multigenerational star power crowded onto the stage for Stanford Jazz Workshop's faculty jam. A memorable night of jazz fireworks waits.
