The girl is a really great singer.

I lost track of all the Essentially Ellington performances during COVID etc. Looking forward to the middle of May for a new season 2024.

Wow

Great Singer…….

The lead bone player on Garfield’s last tune Rocks In My Bed had it nailed. You go girl!

Muito bom. Garra, juventude e muita compatência. Melhora meus poucos dias de tristeza & alegria.

African beat great , where are the african americans? Diversity , Duke Ellington was black by the way 🎷🎶🎺🎹💖

Jazz at Lincoln Center, Garfield High School is such a gorgeous bouquet of DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION, I know the late, incomparable Duke Ellington knows his music and power to thrill and bring the world together will always Put Rocks in Segregation, propaganda Wannabe Dictator Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' bed, spotlighting the rocks of evil in his head.

How wonderful watch and listen to these youngsters playing and enjoying great jazz. What talent for the future. Just as encouraging to see a young appreciative audience.

SENSE THE WHITE POWER RACIST HAVE TAKEN BAND OUT OF BLACK SCHOOLS THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM PLAYING BLACK MUSIC. RACIST AMERICA, NOT 1 BLACK KID IN THE BAND PLAYING BLACK MUSIC HIS PEOPLE CREATED.

Outstanding!🤩

The female signing "Rocks in my Bed" is the best performer from Garfield High School.

WOW!!!!!!!

Really Bravi！

Great, wonderfull !

These young musicians are great!!!! I played in stage band my high school years, and loved every minute if it.... and miss it really. I'm 73 and still love this type of music.....

Fantastic quality and passion. Makes me happy to see such young people playing fine jazz/swing. We need more of them…

It’s great to watch these youngsters playing jazz and having so much fun!

Don't think I've ever seen a jazz band perform from memory before. Interesting!

Killing.

Great performance!,👏

ufffff perfect...waoooooo

Watching this video “WOW” this gave me so much to look forward to in the future. A great deal of optimism for the American art form. These guys are brilliant.

Incredibly great. Unbelievable!!!
