From the heart of Hawaiʻi Island, the Honokaʻa Jazz Band, led by acclaimed educator and band director Gary Washburn, brings the joy, energy, and spirit of big band jazz to life with a youthful fire that has earned them recognition well beyond the islands.

Known for their tight ensemble playing and vibrant stage presence, these talented young musicians have built a reputation for delivering performances that are both polished and filled with genuine excitement for the music.
