The Mundelein High School Jazz Ensemble is set to perform at the legendary Jazz Showcase in Chicago on Monday, March 3.
Founded in 1947, the Jazz Showcase, located at 806 S. Plymouth Ct., holds the distinction of being Chicago's oldest historic jazz club. The Mundelein Jazz Ensemble will take the stage at 7:15 p.m. , serving as the opening band for the Bob Lark Alumni Big Band. Tickets are priced at $20 for general admission and $30 for VIP seats.
The students of the Mundelein Jazz Ensemble have been diligently preparing their music for this performance over several weeks and express great enthusiasm about playing in such an iconic venue. This marks the fourth consecutive year that they will be performing at this location.
“Getting an opportunity to play at the Jazz Showcase always has me prepare the music differently,” said senior Jazz Ensemble member Chloe Langford. “As someone who wants to go into music, it’s encouraging to play at a venue that is as well known as the Jazz Showcase. ”
Daniel Fishel, a new member of the ensemble, shared his excitement: “I am looking forward to getting to play at a venue that has so much history and has hosted so many amazing jazz musicians. ”
