The annual Edmonds Jazz Connection brought musicians from local middle, high school and college jazz programs for performances at three downtown Edmonds venues Saturday. The event, sponsored by the Daybreakers Rotary Club, showcased big bands at the Edmonds Center for the Arts (see those photos here), small combos at the Edmonds Theater and vocalists at the Edmonds Opera House.
The Daybreakers Rotary Club also awarded scholarships to nine students in recognition of their excellence in academics and activities.
All the performances were excellent! Thanks to Scott Barnes, Jon Sanders and Kirk Marcy for scheduling.
And a big thank you to the Rotary Club of Edmonds Daybreakers for sponsoring such a great day of music for our community. A record $18,000 in scholarships
was awarded to participating musicians from the Edmonds School District.
Thank you Daybreakers!
