Welcome!

Welcome to the Reno Jazz Festival!

Since its inception in 1962, the festival and its sponsor, the University of Nevada, Reno, have hosted some of the finest jazz students, musicians and educators in the country. This year we’re going “brochure-less,” and inviting you to register your group and get all your festival information and updates for the 2009 Reno Jazz Festival directly online! It’s quick and easy; you’ll also be able to download director packets and other festival materials 24/7. Visit http://www.unr.edu/rjf.

I look forward to seeing you in April. Larry M. Engstrom Director, School of the Arts and Reno Jazz Festival University of Nevada, Reno

CJ Walters The festival is over but the clean-up and posting of scores and winners information is starting.... We'll hopefully have everything up and finished by Wednesday, April 29. FYI - My total steps ended up being close to 38,000 and my feet are tired. I want to know why I didn't lose any weight during the process? Hmmmm, maybe it was those potato chips in the box lunches.
