It is my pleasure to announce that the 37th annual Head of the Lakes Jazz Festival will be held at the UMD campus on Saturday,March 6 th, 2010 . This Festival will be non-competitive in nature, offering positive, learning-based experiences for young jazz ensembles and many outstanding performances. Our Saturday evening feature guest artist will be Ingrid Jensen, with UMD JazzI and the Head of the Lakes Jazz Festival All-Star Combo. Born in Vancouver and raised in Nanaimo , Canada , Ingrid headed east after receiving a number of scholarships to attend the Berklee College of Music in Boston . Since graduating in 1989, her life has contained a whirlwind of musical activities. From her early days playing in the subways of New York , to establishing herself as a leader and soloist in a wide array of musical genres, Ingrid has made her mark.
