Saturday, we hosted the 24th Annual Michael Benson Jazz Festival! Thank you to all the incredible musicians who performed; The St. Xavier Alumni Big Band, Jazz at Dusk, The Phil DeGreg Trio and The St. Xavier Jazz Ensemble. We had the privilege of hearing the wonderful trombonist and 4-time Grammy nominee, Conrad Herwig, who joined the Phil DeGreg Trio and The St. Xavier Jazz Ensemble. Thank you to special guest, trumpeter John Zappa, for also joining us.

As always, a very special thank you to Bob and Rosalyn Benson for continuing to honor their son’s memory by supporting the jazz program here at St. X!
