Celebration! The Fullerton College Jazz Festival 25th Anniversary is a CD released by the Fullerton College Jazz Bands and Jazz Singers as a marking of the long tradition of the recordings and jazz festivals produced by the college.
Background
The first recording the Fullerton College Jazz Bands were involved with was from 1978 with the production of the LP Both Sides Now. This was done at a studio outside Fullerton College.
In 1981 the Music Department at Fullerton College built a 16 track in house recording facility which was to serve as a teaching tool for both student music groups and students wanting to take recording technology classes at a vocational level. Everything from this CD (except one track) was recorded at Fullerton College.
The roster on this compilation album is self-evident as to the diversity and level of student musicians Fullerton College developed from 1978-1997. The Fullerton College Jazz Festival[2] grew over the years starting in 1972 with only 8 high school jazz ensembles. By 1997 the festival grew to a two-day event and now has 300 school music groups from 10 Western States.[2]
