Guest artists include, World renowned tenor saxophonist, Jerry Bergonzi, author of 7 books on jazz improv and currently a professor at the New England Conservatory of Music;Trombonist, Jeff Galindo on the faculty at Berklee College of Music and formerly with the Ray Charles Orchestra; and Trumpet Mark Van Cleave, formerly lead trumpet with the Smithsonian Jazz Orchestra.

When asked, "why do people come to Jazz Vermont?" Byron Siegal, camp director answered, "It's not just the music, its not just the beautiful setting.  This is an opportunity to live the dream they might have had about playing in a big band every day, jamming every day, it's the way they can for at least five days maybe have the life that they wanted but they don't have now."

70% of the Jazz Vermont campers return each year!
