The 21st Annual Jazz Cafe at North High School was a resounding success last night as bands from DGN, Herrick Middle School, and Jefferson Junior High School entertained audiences with terrific jazz music. In addition to great ensemble playing and student soloists, guest artist Alex Beltran (Tenor Sax - Chicago) joined the DGN Jazz Lab Band and DGN Jazz Ensemble.
Many thanks are extended to all who gave generously to support this year's designated charity: The American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. We appreciate your support of this organization as they work to help those in need both close to home, and across the globe. Thank you, as well, to the DGN Music Boosters for their generous support (most notably Hospitality Coordinator Carolyn Donnelly and her crew of wonderful volunteers), and Downers Grove Caribou Coffee for their donation of coffee.
