The Commodores, the Navy’s premier jazz ensemble led by Senior Chief Musician William C. Mulligan, have performed for the Navy and the nation for over 40 years. Formed in 1969, this 18-member group continues the jazz big-band legacy playing with some of the world’s finest musicians such as Ray Charles, Branford Marsalis, Clark Terry, and many more. They have appeared on television, played nearly all major jazz festivals, and toured across the United States and abroad. In conjunction with the Airmen of Note (Air Force) and the Army Blues (Army), the Commodores even host their own annual jazz festival, the Joint Service Jazz Festival in Washington, D.C.
ETHS is located at 1600 Dodge Ave. in Evanston. Parking is available in the lot directly across the street from the school’s Auditorium entrance. The Auditorium is handicapped accessible.
