Steeped in tradition and excellence, the Woodlawn High Jazz Ensemble, led by Paul Lauve (director of bands), showcased their musical prowess at the annual Loyola University Jazz Festival last Friday. With a legacy spanning decades, the ensemble continues to elevate its scores and captivate audiences with each performance.
Amidst the festival’s electric atmosphere, the ensemble had the privilege of participating in enlightening clinics led by jazz professionals and masterclasses conducted by Loyola University professors.
