Sittin’ In introduces audiences to new cutting-edge artists. It defies genre, often drawing from everything from straight-ahead jazz to freestyle hip hop and all points in between. There’s an unpredictability to the night, which we enthusiastically embrace! Sometimes you’ll experience a finely tuned set and sometimes you can catch a totally improvised show by seven people who have never played together. The awesome creativity, excitement, and quality always shine through in The Kimmel Center’s informal club-like setting, featuring early warm-up sets by some of the hottest DJs around. And, it’s free!

Event Details
The inaugural National Jazz Festival will take place on February 15th, 2020 in historic Philadelphia! We are excited and privileged to be hosting some of the best high school and middle school jazz musicians in the country. The National Jazz Festival will be held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Center City Philadelphia!
The National Jazz Festival was created by instrumental and vocal jazz directors, caring parents, supportive jazz musicians, and avid jazz supporters in an effort to fill the void of a lack of a major national jazz festival with an educational philosophy. Upon the cancellation of other festivals, the National Jazz Festival team saw a need to create an event that allows thousands of students to continue to share their talents and hard work with their peers from around the country. The festival executive committee is being led by Joe Bongiovi. Joe is the director of the Philadelphia Jazz Orchestra and is also the band director at Princeton High School in New Jersey. Joe is currently the President of the New Jersey Association Of Jazz Educators (NJAJE). We are fortunate to have Joe’s extensive high school jazz festival experience and his ties to Philadelphia to help launch this festival.
What the National Jazz Festival has to offer:
(visit our “Events” page for detailed information)
– Instrumental Large Ensemble & Small Ensemble Categories
– Vocal Large Ensemble, Small Ensemble, & A Cappella Categories
– “Pop-Cappella” Category for your pop-based a cappella groups

Official registration is open now through November 30th. Schools and ensembles will be accepted on a first-come-first-serve basis. We hope that you can attend the National Jazz Festival this February! If you have any questions or desire more information, please respond to this email or email us anytime at: info@nationaljazzfestival.org
We are excited that the city of Philadelphia has welcomed this new endeavor with open arms and can’t wait to host the National Jazz Festival and invite you to explore historic Philadelphia and the thriving music scene in Philly.
As for competing, each ensemble has the opportunity perform in either a competitive or non-competitive class. There are no ratings, however at the end of the evening the top 4 ensembles in each division will be announced. A full recap sheet of competitive groups will be released at the end of the festival. Non-competitive groups will obviously not be included on that recap.
