Webster Groves High School boasts one of the finest jazz education and performance programs in the Midwest. Students can choose from as many as seven combos and two big bands, all of which perform music ranging from dixieland to fusion. Webster Groves has performed and taken part in clinics during the past several years with artists such as Cyrus Chestnut, Delfeayo Marsalis, Bob Mintzer, Wycliffe Gordon, Tom 'Bones' Malone, Byron Stripling, The Yellowjackets, Chip McNeill, Jeff Hamilton, Dana Hall, Tom Garling, Michael Philip Mossman, Dave Scott, Tim Warfield, Phil Palombi, Esperanza Spalding, Jim Widner, the United States Air Force Airmen of Note, and Bret Spainhour, among others. Jazz students perform more than a dozen times annually at locales from our own high school to New York, Chicago, London, Orlando, and Prague. WGJazz will perform in San Francisco in March 2009.
