Godfrey, Ill. – The Lewis and Clark Community College Jazz Band will perform with special guests, the Alton Middle School Band and the Alton High School Band, for an evening of jazz on Monday, April 25.

The L&C Jazz Band, under the direction of Tim Jarden, comprises musicians ages 16 to 81. Musicians from area high schools, Lewis and Clark, and from around the Metro East area have made this band an engaging and appealing opportunity to play and learn about jazz for more than 30 years.

Songs include “Route 66, Watermelon Man” performed by the Alton Middle School Band and “Groovin’ Hard” and “Embraceable You” performed by the Alton High School Band.
