The concert is a special prelude to the 4th Annual
Next Generation Festival, sponsored by MJF.
The weekend-long event includes the Festival’s
longest-running educational event, the Annual National
High School Jazz Competition, now in its 38th year.
Featuring over fifty groups from nine states across
the United States as well special groups from as
Japan, Australia and the Czech Republic, the top
big bands, combos and vocal ensembles will win
cash awards and an invitation to perform at the
51st Annual Monterey Jazz Festival presented by
Verizon, September 19-21, 2008.
A
Christian McBride Situation, one of the
bassist’s more free-wheeling groups, can feature
a divergent array of talent from McBride’s
wide circle of musical cohorts. Designed as a loose
and changing palate of sounds, Christian describes “A
Situation” as being a stand-in for his
regular quartet, but with the agreement that an anything-goes
ethos would prevail, deeply rooted in the spontaneous
element--and not the repertory--of jazz. Included
in the Situation will be saxophonist Dave
Ellis, keyboardist Jason Lindner and DJ Jahi Sundance.
The Golden State Theatre is located at 417 Alvarado
Street in downtown Monterey, California, and has
been recently restored to its stately and opulent
1926 glory, with beautiful frescos, gilded details
and stained glass lighting. For more information
