Brief bio on The Columbia College Jazz Ensemble and a video: WATCH COLUMBIA HERE

Columbia College Jazz Ensemble was created by Scott Hall and Bill Russo in 1999.  The ensemble is a diverse team of students creating dynamic big band music throughout the Columbia College Chicago campus and the Chicago region.  Outstanding performances in the Chicago area and Europe have allowed it to be recognized as one of the foremost college jazz ensembles in the Midwest. CCJE has performed in concert with some of the most celebrated jazz artists.  In recent years the ensemble has performed with Barry Harris, Wycliffe Gordon, Terence Blanchard, Cyrus Chestnut, Bob Mintzer, Peter Erskine, Fred Wesley, Christian McBride, Benny Golson, and Vincent Gardner.  The CCJE and numerous members have won awards as performers at area festivals.  Many of our alums have traveled the world pursuing their life-long dreams as performers. 

This evening performance is in conjunction with the Arrowhead High School Jazz Fest, a non-competitive high school jazz festival for jazz programs throughout the area. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Gib Weigel Memorial Music Scholarship.
