The Songs of Hoagy Carmichael
Saturday, January 24th
Our 10th annual collaboration with The Musical Theater Project celebrates the songs of Hoagy Carmichael. A jazz legend, Hoagy composed (and often wrote lyrics for) a beloved chapter of the Great American Songbook besides writing for many films. Just think of “Skylark,” “Georgia on My Mind,” “Heart and Soul” and the Oscar-winning “In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening.”

Django and the Duke
Friday, March 20th
We intertwine the remarkable early brilliance of Duke Ellington at the Cotton Club with Django Reinhardt/Stephane Grappelli's “Hot Club of France.” Violinist Reed Simon will help us create the “CJO Club” for an evening with infectious grooves and great arrangements.

Woodstock '26
Sly, Santana, & Janis
Friday, May 1st
The Woodstock Music and Art Fair in 1969 has still proven to be the most seminal gathering of rock, blues and jazz fusion in popular music history, and countless outdoor festivals try to emulate this vibe every summer. With the help of Mary Bridget Davies, we celebrate the sounds of Sly, Santana and Janis as we create our own jazz infused Woodstock experience.
The mission of the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra is to increase awareness and appreciation of jazz by engaging the community with original music, exceptional performances, and inspirational educational programming.
Learn, live, and love jazz.
