Alumni Concert on Sunday afternoon March 15th (doors open at pm and

This historic reunion will honor Charles Hamilton who has been the

celebrate the amazing legacy of the BHS Jazz program. Alums spanning
the past 30+ years will attend and perform at this unique concert.

bringing together alums from near and far:  Rodney Franklin, Steven
Bernstein, Jessica Jones, Dave Ellis, Josh Jones, Dayna Stevens,
Hitomi Oba, Kito Gamble and dozens more alums from BHS will be
performing.
 
The BHS Jazz program has thrived since 1966 due to the support that
Jazz has received by the Berkeley community throughout the years.  The
experience many students had at BHS has sparked careers and passions
in so many musicians.  This will be a one of a kind afternoon
concert!!!  Greg Bridges, local jazz radio personality will be master
of ceremonies.  There will be many tributes given and amazing
performances by so many talented musicians who sowed their seeds at
