In 1986, The Sacramento Traditional Jazz Society launched

a new endeavor in its ongoing mission to preserve

classic American jazz. The idea was to bring young,

aspiring jazz musicians together with an all-star faculty

in a beautiful, natural environment that was sure to

inspire great music. 



In the years that have followed,

the camp has played host to such prominent all-star musicians and educators

as Johnny Varro, Dick Cary, Bob Havens, Bill Allred,

Dan Barrett, Howard Alden, Gene Estes, and Abe Most, just to name a few.



The STJS summer Youth Jazz Camp began as a tool to aid in jazz preservation but what was achieved was far greater.

Not only were the students being instilled with a love

of traditional jazz, they were being prepared for their

whole lives – whether they became professional

musicians, or not. It became apparent that the small

jazz band model was a perfect platform for young people

to problem solve, gain an understanding of responsibility,

work on social skills and make choices about music in their lives.



Looking back to 1986, the STJS camp has become a legend

in its own right. In the years to come, it is the goal

of the STJS to continue to provide this fun opportunity

to jazz musicians of all skill levels, thus fostering

better musicians, better people, and a better world.
