The 26th Central Coast
Jazz Festival
Febrary 27th, 2010
Hello and Welcome!
The Central Coast Jazz Festival (CCJF) is a competitive jazz festival hosted by Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo for Middle School, High School and College/University Big Bands and Combos. Last year we had great bands with an excellent judging panel and Andy Martin blew the roof off as our guest artist. As things are shaping up for this years festival it promises to be a great experience for everyone involved.
While we have yet to line up our guest artist for this year, we are still maintaining our commitment to the hightest quaility judging and guest artists and hope to give every student the best experience possible.
On this site you will find information about this year's festival and guest artist, an application and closer to the festival a schedule of bands. After the festival it will be possible to check back and see each band's scores.
