The Cleveland Jazz Orchestra History
The Cleveland Jazz Orchestra has a rich history of performing
repertory and contemporary big band jazz for almost
25 years. Through the years the band members may have
changed, but the commitment to the art form has not. Under
the artistic direction of Gary Scott, Roland Paolucci and now
Jack Schantz, the CJO has cemented its reputation locally,
nationally and internationally. Performing with jazz legends
Arturo Sandoval, Clark Terry, Tony Bennett, Mel Torme, Jiggs
Whigham and Bob Brookmeyer, the CJO continues to attract
the biggest names in the business. Tributes to Duke Ellington,
Benny Goodman, Count Basie and Stan Kenton have kept
alive that classic big band sound, while performances with
John Hollenbeck, John Fedchock, Ed Partyka and Maria
Schneider have showcased more contemporary writers. The
CJO isnât made up of just great players however; we have a
wealth of writing and arranging talent as well. Compositions
and arrangements from Paul Ferguson, David Morgan,
Chas Baker and Rich Shanklin are part and parcel of the
âCJO sound.â Going forward our Bop Stop Concert Series
and Education Outreach Program will be critical building
blocks on which we build our future. Itâs certainly an exciting
time in our history. Hereâs to the next 25 years.
