This is a huge honor for a school jazz band, shoot for ANY band! Paschal is the first Texas high school band in 20 years to be asked to perform at the annual Montreaux Jazz Festival, Europe's oldest and most prestigious. Congratulation to the talented and hard-working students who have earned this opportunity. It is fitting that as Ornette Coleman passes from the stage that a completely new generation is in the wings ready to fire it up. I hope there is some sort of homecoming concert event when the band returns home.

Might want to correct that. They're performing at MONTREUX in Sweden.

Damn auto-complete strikes again! Looks like it might have gotten you as well.

 

Make that "Paschal Jazz Band Plays Montreux, Switzerland Festival".

 

Same Place where Zappa's Mothers of Invention got burned out of a concert hall and Deep Purple recorded their Machine Head Album with mic cables running out of hotel windows down to the he Rolling Stones mobile recording unit below (...Smoke, on the water...) Lots of good 1980's Creed Taylor recordings from festivals of years past...
