“Past, Present, & Future”
Over the past 40 years, through a combination of musical excellence and flexibility, the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra has managed to survive and thrive. To celebrate this anniversary, we will be looking back and forward at the same time. Honoring the legacy of Roland Paolucci, Jack Schantz, Sean Jones and others we'll create a memorable, swinging program.
