For well over one hundred years the trumpet with its unmistakable sound has earned its place thanks to some of the greatest jazz artists in history. Its distinct and soulful “voice” came alive when artists like Maynard Ferguson, Miles Davis and of course the legendary Louis Armstrong contributed to its popularity. CJRO fans will not want to miss the special evening of jazz as we celebrate these jazz legends and highlight several of Denver’s finest trumpeters including Jake Boldman, Jonathan Powell, Dawn Kramer, Shane Endsley, Nate Miller, Kate Williams, and Hugh Ragin.
Founded in 2012 by bandleader, Art Bouton, with a mission to perform the best music with the best musicians, the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra does just that and more. Exciting world-renowned guest artists and many of the finest regional musicians perform anything from rollicking big band classics to contemporary large and small ensemble jazz to enthusiastic concert goers across Colorado. Audiences at the Arvada Center, PACE Center in Parker, Lakewood Cultural Center, Lone Tree Arts Center, Parsons Theatre in Northglenn and beyond have heard the CJRO perform music from Count Basie, Billie Holiday, Stan Kenton, Duke Ellington, Stevie Wonder, and Buddy Rich as well as original arrangements by CJRO composers and other artists.
