The Jazz Band features 21 talented musicians who perform both classic big band hits and modern jazz and swing tunes. They showcase their music at our spring and fall band concerts and star in our annual Gala Concert/fundraiser in February. Local vocalists from the Coachella Valley are often highlighted during Jazz Band performances. 

Beyond these formal concerts, the Jazz Band frequently receives requests to perform at the Tour de Palm Springs and occasionally at private events.
