The CJO says G is for ...Gratitude!
To me, jazz is a place where anything is possible.
Bill Frisell
Dear friends of the CJO,Our final concert of our 35th season would have taken place this weekend. Circumstances may have led us to cut our season short, but we won’t miss this opportunity to thank all of our fans and donors for their kindness and generosity! You are what motivates us to excellence, and you make it all possible!We look forward to sharing the music with you next season, and while we aren’t sure yet what each event will look like, we promise to bring you our usual mix of creative and original music with some of Northeast Ohio’s finest musicians. Thank you!

Thank you to Jackson Lewis and James Verdi for your support.
Your donations not only make our season possible, but provide the much needed funding for the CJO to provide outreach in the community and perpetuate the love of jazz for generations to come.We have missed sharing live music with you, and we’re excited to announce that we have some tentative dates for when we hope to share music with you in person this summer! We will keep you updated on these dates, and any others that may arise.
