The BHS Jazz program has thrived since 1966 due to the support that
Jazz has received by the Berkeley community throughout the years.

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
