Students Perform for Charleston Jazz Festival 2022

On Sunday, April 24th it was the local area students who showcased their talents at the Royal Missionary Baptist Church in North Charleston. Artists ages ranged from pre-teen through college, but all the performances were professionally and enthusiastically delivered to the delight of the audience. Some of the bands that participated were the Charleston Jazz Academy combo, Wando High School Jazz Band, Charleston County School of the Arts Jazz Band, College of Charleston combo, Berkeley All-County Jazz Band, the Charleston Southern University combo, and others.

The 2022 Charleston Jazz Festival

I was pleased to be hired to photograph several performances from Charleston’s seventh annual Jazz Festival which was held in various locations between April 21st – 24th. These images were captured on Saturday, 23rd April at the Charleston Music Hall where Kandace Springs and her band performed for the early show, and Etienne Charles & Creole Soul took the 8pm slot. Both performances were musically and visually excellent. Kudos to all the Jazz Festival staff and volunteers for putting this event together, showcasing 43 jazz musicians from all over the world, three High School jazz bands, and two student combos from the Charleston Jazz Academy. Another post will follow with images from the students’ performances on Family Jazz Day at the Royal Missionary Baptist Church.
