Mission Statement
CCJA is a unique non-profit organization dedicated to empowering youth to creatively express themselves through the language of jazz.
About This Cause
CCJA provides Colorado musicians unique opportunities for the study and performance of jazz, thereby offering them the ability to explore their creativity and voices, both individually and collectively. Under the mentorship of professional jazz musicians, CCJA helps advance and preserve the art form of jazz, and positively impacts the larger community. CCJA's core program is a small group program, where both youth and adults meet weekly during the school year to learn, play, and perform in a small jazz group under the guidance of a professional jazz musician mentor at three locations across the Denver Metro area. Other powerful programming includes two summer camps, Outreach Programs to schools and underserved communities, a vocal jazz program, expanded public performances, guided public youth jam sessions, a peer mentoring program, and a Recording and Music Industry Program and recording project. Over the last 20 years, CCJA groups have performed for tens of thousands of people, with the intention of advancing and preserving America's treasured art form of jazz through helping enlighten the public about the scope, history, and future possibilities of jazz. All of our programs are directed by accomplished professional jazz musicians, who continue to pass on their extensive knowledge, experience, and wisdom to the next generation. Whether students go on to play professionally or for enjoyment, their lives are enriched by their participation in CCJA's programs and they develop a greater understanding and appreciation of the art form.
