The Cleveland Jazz Orchestra

About Me

The Cleveland Jazz Orchestra has been in existence for almost 25 years and has performed with the likes of Tony Bennett, Clark Terry, Arturo Sandoval, Dianne Schuur and with more contemporary artists such as John Fedchock, John Hollenbeck and Maria Schneider. Under the artistic direction of Jack Schantz, Director of Jazz Studies at the Univeristy of Akron, the CJO is looking to fulfill its vision of "The Art Form Moving Forward." Be sure to visit us at www.clevelandjazz.org. You can order "The Surprise of Being" by logging onto to CDBaby or on ITunes.
