This free concert will take place on the Showmobile Stage in the Industrial Air parking lot at 17739 15th Ave NE in Shoreline and is the culminating concert for the annual Shoreline Jazz Camp. Each year over 60 middle school and high school students gather for a 7 day intensive, hands on jazz camp experience with some of the finest musicians the northwest has to offer. The concert will showcase the pieces those students worked on in camp as well as the talents of the faculty.
