Often referred to as the “Super Bowl” of Jazz Festivals, Essentially Ellington represents the highest levels of Jazz artistry. 

Here we see a Trumpet section feature from the Orange County School of the Arts, one of the top ranked arts schools in the US.  Its flagship Ambassador Jazz Orchestra from the Garn Family Jazz Studies Program was a finalist for the 3rd time in a row at the Essentially Ellington Festival hosted by Jazz at Lincoln Center in NYC.

In the section:

- Pedro Fregoso

Shoutout to John Reynolds for your passionate leadership, and to the players in the band for their energetic playing! 👏
