Our 42nd Annual Frank Mantooth Jazz Festival at New Trier High School will take place on Saturday, Feb 8, 2025, and will feature a very special project we're calling "The Chicago Neighborhood Suite" performed by a custom-built ensemble of Chicago's very finest jazz artists. This new piece, commissioned by our festival and arranged by Joe Clark, will feature tunes by 8-10 prominent Chicago jazz artists whose compositions reflect or connect to a specific place in Chicago. Joe is taking these compositions and creating a new work for big band. As we know, Chicago is a city of neighborhoods with an incredible diversity of cultures and musical styles. It's time for our festival to again feature the world-class talent of our Chicago jazz community, and we hope you'll be there with us! The evening concert will begin at 7:00pm in the Gaffney Auditorium on New Trier's Winnetka Campus.
