The Cincinnati Contemporary Jazz Orchestra (CCJO) creates experiences that advance jazz as a living art form.
About us
Mission: The CCJO creates experiences that advance jazz as a living art form. Vision: To be the region's leading ambassador for jazz. The Cincinnati Contemporary Jazz Orchestra (CCJO) is a 17-member ensemble dedicated to performing, preserving and teaching Jazz as a living art form. Founded by University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music professor Scott Belck in 2013, the orchestra is comprised of some of the preeminent jazz artists and educators in the Greater Cincinnati area. Eric Lechliter is the artistic director for the CCJO, appointed in 2019. As an ensemble, CCJO focuses on featuring the works of contemporary composers and contributing to the jazz legacy by producing and performing its own original material while still maintaining a firm footing in the grand tradition of big band jazz. This balanced vision along with a mission to make jazz accessible and approachable for listeners of all backgrounds means that the group's programming is often drawn from artists ranging from Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus all the way to Prince and David Bowie. In addition to maintaining its performance schedule, the CCJO has a similarly strong commitment to Jazz and cultural education. Through its two main educational programs - Collaborative Honing of Performance Skills (CHOPS) and "Let Freedom Swing," the organization provides no-cost guest clinicians for local Jazz programs as well as educational presentations for school districts throughout the Greater Cincinnati area. The CCJO is the proud winner of the 2016 CityBeat Cincinnati Entertainment Award for Best Jazz Ensemble. CCJO events have also been nominated in several categories for the Movers & Makers Reader's Choice Awards. Ultimately, the CCJO believes in the power of music to transform lives for the better and seeks to bring the beauty and elegance of Jazz to students and audiences alike.
