Calvin Jones Big Band Festival Returns April 18, 2010 
The BIG BAND sound returns to the University of the District of Columbia for the 24th year at
the Calvin Jones BIG BAND Jazz Festival. Once again, the powerhouse jazz ensembles from the University of the District
of Columbia (directed by Allyn Johnson), Howard University (directed by Fred Irby III) and the University of
Maryland (directed by Chris Vadala) will cap off Jazz Appreciation Month with a hand-clapping, finger-snapping, foot-stomping
good time. Produced by University of the District of Columbia Jazz Studies Program and the Felix E. Grant Jazz Archives, the
festival began in 1987 as part of a citywide tribute to Duke Ellington, and it remains one of the most anticipated events
on Washington, DC's jazz calendar.
 Tickets are $20 (general admission), $15 (senior) and $10 (student) and can be purchased in
advance at the Music Program.
Event is located at Building 46-West, UDC Van Ness Campus,
4200 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20008 (Metro's Red line: Van Ness-UDC), or online at InstantSeats.com
