Every year under the direction of Scott Brown, the Roosevelt students turn out impressively stylish and assured performances. Often finishing at or near the top of the prestigious Essentially Ellington competition in New York, Roosevelt Jazz has helped to define the excellence of Seattle jazz education and set a standard for high school jazz orchestras nationwide.
Since 1969, the Roosevelt Jazz Program has engaged high school students in the artistry of jazz. Under the direction first of Waldo King, and now Brown, Roosevelt Jazz has matured into one of the nation's most accomplished programs, advancing this uniquely American art form. Over the years, the Jazz Band has competed nationally in New York and Philadelphia and performed internationally in such diverse venues as Montreux, Switzerland; Beijing, China; and Mazatlan, Mexico. All of the program's ensembles Jazz Bands I, II, and III, and Vocal Jazz also feature in regional jazz festivals.
