Westlake High School Jazz Band

4.8

Get ready for a swinging night of jazz as the Westlake High School Jazz Band takes the stage at Parker Jazz Club! Under the direction of John Pearson, these talented young musicians bring big-band energy, tight ensemble playing, and plenty of soulful solos to a world-class jazz room right in the heart of downtown.

This special performance is part of an ongoing series created by Parker Jazz Club and the Texas Jazz Society to spotlight local high school jazz programs and give them a true professional stage experience. You’ll hear classic standards, modern charts, and everything in between, all played with the passion and excitement of students who are fully immersed in the art of jazz.

One of the coolest parts of this event is its mission: 100% of ticket sales go directly back to the Westlake High School band program, helping fund music education, future performances, and new opportunities for these young artists. It’s a rare chance to enjoy an evening of live music while directly supporting the next generation of jazz musicians.

Can’t make it in person or have friends and family out of town? These concerts are also live-streamed for free, so loved ones near and far can tune in and cheer on the band from anywhere. Whether you’re a jazz fan, a proud supporter of music education, or just looking for a unique night out, this show offers a fun, feel-good way to be part of Austin’s vibrant music community.
