The Long Beach City College Jazz Fest ran into hard times during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the students are still playing.
In the newly renovated Long Beach City College auditorium on a recent Thursday night, the audience is far from packed. But those in attendance are nodding in time with the tunes coming from on stage. Faraway looks dot their faces. They wear slight smiles, as though listening to an old friend.
Leading this jazz band is music professor Patrick Sheng, tonight sporting a Key lime-green tie and a mohawk. We stand on the stage after the show, facing out as the audience empties and students greet their parents, scraping tuba cases across the black floor.
