Thurs. 2/14 10a:  Mid-school and high-school musicians from across New Mexico come together for the Albuquerque Jazz Festival, a two-day event that's part music adjudication and part jazz performance.  The Festival concludes on February 16 with a public concert in the auditorium at Eldorado High School:  the Albuquerque Jazz Orchestra performing with saxophonist Dick Oatts from New York City.  Spencer Beckwith speaks with Maud Beenhower, the Executive Director of the producer of the concert, the New Mexico Jazz Workshop.
