The Beijing Jazz Orchestra is the brainchild of conductor and trumpeter Mark Van Cleave. Starting in 2009, the BJO embarked on a musical jouney to introduce big band jazz music to China. With the help of good friend and musical contractor and trumpeter Joe Lu, the band was formed.
The BJO vision is one of international musical cooperation to produce a worldclass jazz orchestra for both performances and educational opportunities. If you like big band jazz music, you will love the BJO.
