The Columbus Community Jazz Band is the chance for anyone who has played an instrument to get back in the swing of things! Led by some of Columbus’ finest musicians, the CCJB performs jazz classics in a fun and engaging environment.

This fall we’re excited to make music together in a traditional big band setting, led by trombonist Jessica Sneeringer, one of Columbus’ most well-regarded musicians and educators and a frequent performer with the Columbus Jazz Orchestra and Famous Jazz Orchestra.

We will meet every Wednesday night from 6-8pm for 5-weeks and end our season with a public performance on Wednesday, November 13th at Natalie’s Grandview for a joint concert alongside our Jazz Academy Adult Vocal Workshop.

Applications: Due to increased interest, we ask that all interested participants, new or returning, complete the CCJB Interest Form below by September 25th. We will then fill the ensemble based off of these submissions.

PLEASE NOTE: At this time, the CCJB Interest Form is closed for Fall 2024 and we are no longer accepting applications. Information for joining the Spring 2025 session will be posted after the new year.

This ensemble is open to musicians with fundamental experience on saxophone, trumpet, trombone, guitar, piano, bass and drum set.
