Oakland based, East Bay born and bred, OJC brings original arrangements of traditional and contemporary vocal Jazz to the Bay Area & beyond. In addition OJC presents an interactive vocal Jazz workshop to the Oakland Public Schools. A blending of hearts and voices can have so much power. These voices unite to share in their common love of Jazz and to help promote the art form in new ways while respecting its cultural roots. OJC is funded mainly through its performances, grants and individual donations. Those dollars fund day-to-day operations, artistic and professional fees. But what keeps OJC’s collective heart beating most of all is the love of Jazz.  less
