For their annual SFJAZZ Spring Season appearance, Director Paul Contos and the SFJAZZ High School All-Stars perform compositions by some of the most important writers of the modern era, including such luminaries as Horace Silver, John Coltrane, Clifford Brown and Herbie Hancock. With exciting soloists, great arrangements and a swingin’ band featuring students from all over the Bay Area, the All-Stars are sure to entertain jazz fans of all ages.

Led by internationally esteemed jazz educator Paul Contos, the HSAS program is widely renowned. Since 2001, multiple All-Star students have been featured in the Grammy All-American Jazz Ensemble and have been honored with ASCAP Young Jazz Composers Awards. The All-Stars as a group have received a stunning 30 DownBeat Student Music Awards.

“The SFJAZZ High School All-Stars are some of the most talented and committed young players I’ve ever had a chance to work with. They’re setting the standard for all the young big bands out there.” Miguel Zenón
