Since 1999, the Big Band Blowout jazz concert is an opportunity for young musicians to perform with professional musicians on the same stage. The EEU signature concert experience features the award-winning bands of Esperanza HS and Bernardo Yorba Middle School in collaboration with our guest artist, performing Big Band Jazz tunes in a beautiful modern performing arts theater.

“The opportunity for our students to perform with some of the greatest jazz musicians in the country is always exciting,” said EEU Director, Mr. Bradley Davis, “Mr. Gardner is someone who has been on our list of people that we would love to have out to work with our students, for years.”

EEU Jazz Bands annually attend Essentially Ellington regional festival in Las Vegas and has competed nationally at Essentially Ellington in New York. Essentially Ellington initiatives, created by Jazz at Lincoln Center, are world-class jazz education events that have inspired many jazz music programs like Big Band Blowout.

EEU is delighted to welcome Vincent Gardner, the Lead Trombonist from Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis since in 2000. As an accomplished bandleader, musician and composer, Gardner originals are described as both beautiful and expressive. Mr. Gardner performs with diverse ensembles and is also the Director of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Youth Orchestra. www.vincentgardner.com

“Our goal is always to expose our students to music at its highest level so that they can see how far they can go,” said Davis, “We are looking forward to sharing the stage with one of the greatest jazz trombonists in the world and enjoying an amazing night of music.”
