The Walnut Creek Jazz Band has been bringing the Big Band sound to the East Bay for over 23 years. Our audiences comes to enjoy live Jazz in a wide variety of styles, vocal and instrumental, spanning all eras of jazz through the present day.
The band got its start in 2000 when a “jazz ensemble” music class was offered by the Walnut Creek Civic Arts program under the direction of Mike Rose. The early Walnut Creek Civic Arts Jazz Band was a mix of beginning musicians from middle school, and more advanced musicians from high school and college, as well as experienced adult musicians. The mix of different ages and experience levels is part of the DNA of the band and continues to this day.
