This weekend, the first Bentonville West High School Jazz Festival will host students from middle, junior and senior high schools. The event will feature a performance by the UAFS Jazz Cats, a clinic with noted trombonist Bobby Shue and an evening performance by the Fayetteville Jazz Collective. We speak with Erich Spaeth, associate director of bands at Bentonville West High School, to learn more about the festival.
