The Columbus Community Jazz Band, under the direction of Jessica Sneeringer, is an ensemble held in the fall, spring and summer at the Jazz Academy. Consisting of community members from all occupations and backgrounds, the CCJB is a welcoming environment that performs in a variety of venues each season.

The award-winning Capital University Big Band, under the direction of Billy Wolfe, is the premier jazz ensemble at Capital University and represents some of the finest musicians within Capital’s Conservatory of Music. The Big Band performs a wide range of repertoire from such artists as Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Thad Jones along with contemporary music written to push the boundaries of the ensemble.
