Dear Friends,
We are delighted to have Jazz In the Pines Festival & Student Clinic return in a new format that now serves young jazz enthusiasts from around the world. The Festival & Student Clinic builds a bridge between the professionals we’ve loved for years and the next generation of jazz artists.
Teaching young artists through a master teacher – apprentice model is the cornerstone on which Idyllwild Arts has built a legacy of excellence. Each year, hundreds of summer campers and academy students travel 5,200 feet into the mountains to Idyllwild, California. Once here, they walk onto a picturesque campus with dorms, charming classrooms, practice rooms and studios, all surrounded by beautiful, wooded terrain.
Marshall Hawkins, Jazz In The Pines Festival & Student Clinic co-founder, says, “Jazz is a catalyst for love and respect, a beacon that shines on the truth.” That is a sentiment that we embrace because at Idyllwild Arts, we believe that art is the greatest teacher of humanity and that art itself is not the sole outcome of a creative life but rather the means to constant and necessary growth – personally, professionally, and globally. We are excited about this year’s Festival & Student Clinic that brings Grammy-Award winners, studio musicians, recording artists, and other professional Jazz musicians to our campus.
Thank you for your interest in Jazz In The Pines Festival & Student Clinic. We invite you to join us for one or several events. While the professional musicians will “wow” and entertain you, I guarantee that the students will impress and inspire you. Do yourselves a favor and get here!
Warm regards,
Pamela Jordan

Marshall Hawkins’ upcoming birthday will make him eighty-one years young.
“Oh, yeah,” he grinned one recent morning. “But I’m not slowing down. I’m moving smarter.”
That gift of eternal youth explains why Hawkins continues to look ahead, rather than settle for a well-earned rest on his laurels. Eternal youth explains why he’s thrilled about the rebirth and reinvention of Jazz in the Pines. The education of young musicians is now crucial to his brainchild, which is twenty-five years old and counting.
The jazz master founded Jazz in the Pines in 1994, along with Barbara Wood and Lynn Carlson. In 2015 the Associates of the Idyllwild Arts Foundation handed over the running of Jazz in the Pines to Idyllwild Arts. Since then, Hawkins’ role has expanded because of his involvement with Idyllwild Arts, where he is a beloved teacher.
“When you’re involved with art,” he said, “you’re second. So the new Jazz in the Pines isn’t a festival, meaning it isn’t just a party and isn’t just entertainment. The new Jazz in the Pines is a state of mind. It’s an expression of shared wonder about the power of jazz not only to speak generation after generation, but to help one generation speak to another generation.”
No one has spoken more powerfully generation after generation, or from his own generation to much younger ones, than Marshall Hawkins.
“Jazz is a catalyst for love and respect, a beacon that shines on the truth. It’s what I’ve always been honored to feel when I played jazz, and what I’ve also been honored to feel during these exciting conversations, month after month since August 2018, with the other people involved in planning the new Jazz in the Pines. We’ve had love and respect and truth in the room, along with Bob Boss and Harry Pickens, and Evan Christopher and Jason Jackson and others—including of course the President of Idyllwild Arts, Pamela Jordan.”
Hawkins has always insisted that his power to communicate belongs ultimately not to himself, but to the music. The power is on loan to him only for as long as he gives the music its freedom.
“It’s like it wasn’t just us in the room, because that openness to what the music can do made a place in the room for everybody who’s open to the music.”
He shrugged.
“Connecting. This is all about love of the power of music to connect people to each other. This is what the new Jazz in the Pines is all about.”

“The new Jazz In The Pines is a state of mind. It’s an expression of shared wonder about the power of jazz not only to speak generation after generation, but to help one generation speak to another generation.”
– Marshall Hawkins, Jazz In The Pines Founder
“The trip up the mountain becomes more than a physical journey; it becomes a journey of awakening to a new way of being – a state of consciousness characterized by self-awareness, authentic connection, mutual respect, clear communication, personal mastery, common language and individual expression in service of a common ideal.”
– Harry Pickens, Musician & Author
“By bringing together artists of all ages, Jazz In The Pines now aligns with what Idyllwild Arts has done exceptionally well for nearly 75 years. By ensuring a continuing dialogue of artistic expression, younger generations are taught to embrace the universal language of the arts to change lives and connect with human kind.”
– Pamela Jordan, President, Idyllwild Arts
Jazz In The Pines supports and empowers the students of Idyllwild Arts through an inter-generational teaching-artist model anchored in the strategies of jazz music and the artistry of its greatest practitioners.
