Evergreen Youth Jazz

Evergreen Youth Jazz is a non-profit group dedicated to the musical enrichment of young people. This program began in 1995 as a summer music group offered by Take a Bough Productions. It is geared toward young musicians as an introduction to jazz music. With hard work and lots of fun the group becomes a performing jazz band in a very short time. The band performs at local events throughout the summer with the grand finale at the Evergreen State Fair on Labor Day!
