Maine Jazz Camp employs a faculty of approximately a dozen
professional jazz musicians. The faculty are not only great jazz
musicians, but caring teachers who show concern for the
development of the young people they teach.
Each evening finds the faculty in public performance at the Maine
Jazz Camp powerfully demonstrating through their music the lessons
taught to their students during the day. Through the years, Maine
Jazz Camp has played home to some of the finest musicians in jazz,
