Why are we doing this event?
The Inland Empire is one of the fastest
growing communities in California. According the 2000
US Census, San Bernardino County grew by 20.5% from
1990 to 2000 and Riverside County grew by 32% during
the same period. Both counties will continue double-digit
growth through the end of the decade.
With all of this growth, until now,
we have never had our own full-scale annual jazz festival.
With so many new residents moving from areas such
as Los Angeles County, we want to offer them a true
taste of classic jazz close to their new homes.
We also are aware of the importance
of music in the education process. We desire to impact
the lives of our young people at the high school level
by inviting them to compete for well-deserved recognition
and valuable prizes. The top students will be showcased
at the I.E. Jazz Festival. TOP
