Lake Effect Jazz is committed to preserving the uniquely American art form of big band jazz in concert and jazz festival settings across Southwest Michigan. The band is made up of nearly 20 skilled musicians led by Steven L. Reed, retired instrumental music teacher for St. Joseph Public Schools, where he taught jazz ensemble, orchestra, and band for 35 years. Several members of the band are current or retired music educators, making jazz education a priority for LEJBB. Find out more about the band on Facebook or at www.lakeeffectjazz.org.
