CORRIDOR JAZZ PROJECT

About the CORRIDOR JAZZ PROJECT

We made it. But just barely.

When more than a foot of snow blanketed Eastern Iowa in January, I breathed a sigh of relief because the blizzard happened the week before the Corridor Jazz tapings.

I thought, What are the odds of another snowstorm? We’ve got it made!

Special thanks to: Linda Barnes and Orchestra Iowa, along with all the band directors and artists for taking the time to make this project possible.

I should have known that Iowa Winter had more surprises up its sleeve. But even with a record 20 bands in the Corridor Jazz Project this year, there was just enough play in the schedule that we could squeeze in the bands whose sessions were delayed.

We are extra grateful this year for the directors and students who were able to rearrange their schedules, or be patient when we had to slip an extra group in between sessions. I’m also thankful to the school activity directors and bus drivers. Ours was just one of many events they had to reschedule.

As I mentioned above, 2024 marks another year of record participation in this program. We welcome Joel Knipe and Independence as well as Leah Grant and Williamsburg, marking 20 participating schools. We continue to be thrilled and humbled that more than 400 students and their teachers continue to make the Corridor Jazz Project one of the hallmarks of their programs. And also, that getting into the program has become a mark of distinction among high school jazz bands.

Concert Etiquette

We understand this may be just about the longest concert you’ve ever attended. In fact, tonight we’ll present more groups than some music festivals do in an entire weekend!

If you’ve seen all you want to see, don’t feel bad for taking off before the end of the night. If the bands you want to see happen to be at opposite ends of the schedule, feel free to leave and return.

All we ask is that you wait for the current performance to end before moving around, and to be polite to those other patrons near your seat.

Jazz 88.3 — KCCK Enriching the Community

Jazz 88.3 KCCK is a noncommercial, educational FM radio station operated by Kirkwood Community College. KCCK enriches the cultural environment of the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City communities through a variety of on-air programs and community outreach activities. Many of these programs center on the promotion and preservation of jazz, America’s only indigenous musical art form.

KCCK programs a rich on-air schedule of jazz, blues, and related music every day, and produces programs designed to enhance the listener’s appreciation of this unique art music.

In addition to high-quality on-air programs, KCCK brings jazz to the Corridor community in a variety of venues:

• For nearly 30 years, KCCK has sponsored and organized Jazz Under the Stars, a free concert series designed to bring exposure to both professional and student jazz performers in our region, all in a free, familyfriendly atmosphere.

• KCCK produces several concerts and programs each year. These include an annual broadcast of the main stage performances at the Iowa City Jazz Festival, along with other concert broadcasts, including student bands from the U of I, Kirkwood, and others.

The Corridor Jazz Project is just one of several education programs KCCK has designed to bring jazz to young people. Others include:

• Schoolhouse Jazz, which encompasses narration, performance, and student participation to help elementary students understand jazz as a musical form, and also its enormous impact on American culture and history.

• Middle School Jazz Band Camp, a weeklong campus experience for students entering grades 7 – 9, which brings young band students into contact with peers from other schools and directors from area high schools and colleges to enrich their middle school instrumental experience and help prepare them for high school band.

Jazz 88.3 reaches an audience of about 17,000 people each week. Over 15,000 more attend events or are served by our jazz education programs. KCCK receives operating support from Kirkwood as well as a number of community and government entities, but individual listener contributions make up nearly a third of the station’s cash operating budget. All contributions to KCCK are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.

STUDENT DJ SCHEDULE

Listen to KCCK during April Jazz Appreciation Month as students from each Corridor jazz band will be guest DJs! Students will spin tunes they’ve enjoyed or played in school, and talk about why they play and listen to jazz. And they never EVER try to embarrass their director! Honest. All guest DJ shows will be at 4 p.m.
