A very special event, Capital Jazz Project Passing the Torch will feature the original members of CJP recreating their first concert, The Music of The Blue Note, and the new members in their very first performance as a band.

CJP has a long tradition of musical excellence. Founded in 1997 with the goal of creating an atmosphere of respect for jazz as a high level art form, the members of CJP have successfully produced many concerts and educational experiences for the Sacramento music community. Recently, the original members decided it was time to turn the organization over to Sacramento’s talented crop of young musicians.

The new members have all been busy performers and educators in the international jazz scene playing with the likes of Christian McBride, Donald Brown, Jeff “Tain Watts,” Ari Hoenig, Jeff Clayton, and leading jazz education programs at CSU-Stanislaus and UC Davis. They are committed to bringing the very best in jazz to the community and continuing the legacy of Capital Jazz Project.
