For 30 years, Idyllwild Arts has brought legendary jazz giants from across the United States to perform for eager audiences and most recently, to work alongside the young jazz enthusiasts of The Jazz In the Pines Student Clinic. As we celebrate this momentous occasion, we announce that 2024 will be the final Jazz In The Pines Festival at Idyllwild Arts. We pass the torch on to the educators and performers of The Jazz In the Pines Student Clinic as they continue to carry this beloved art form into the future for years to come. Please consider a donation during our final festival year, to support student scholarships at Idyllwild Arts. We thank our festival co-founder, Dr. Marshall Hawkins, for his vision, and for playing a vital role in helping to secure hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarship support for deserving and talented young jazz musicians from around the world. This year’s 30th Anniversary Festival will be in memory of the late jazz guitar giant, our beloved Bob Boss.

Featured in The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune & LA Jazz Scene, Los Angeles-based jazz vocalist Rose Colella has also received mention in LA Daily News, All About Jazz, JAZZIZ, NPR‘s A Blog Supreme & TimeOut NYC, describing her as “elegantly tipsy,” “pure seduction,” “cooly coquettish” & “beautiful and inviting.”

Rose currently performs regularly at the nation’s top jazz clubs including Catalina & Vibrato in Los Angeles, Birdland & The Metropolitan Room in NYC and The Jazz Showcase & The Green Mill in Chicago. After filming a pilot for CBS Television in Los Angeles, Rose was chosen by LIONSGATE Films to present her “LA LA LAND” show during the film’s release, to two sold-out shows, and the event was featured in Entertainment Weekly, IMDB, New York Post’s Page Six, Chicago Tribune, NBC Chicago, Hollywood Reporter, PARADE Magazine, Time Out Chicago, BroadwayWorld, RedEye & Eater.

Rose received her Jazz Studies degree from Roosevelt University in Chicago and owns the entertainment agency Lola Bard Productions, named for her grandmother, a 1930s vocalist who performed and recorded with Bobby Hackett & The Original Dixieland Jazz Band. Rose & Lola were featured in The New York Times, with a story detailing Rose’s career as a jazz vocalist, inspired by Lola’s career as a jazz vocalist in New York City.
