CBJC Festival Magazine 2016

Pure Jazz Magazine and Central
Brooklyn Jazz Consortium have
had a strong working relationship
for nearly two (2) decades. Both
companies have a similar start
date, share similar mission statements
and have maintained a working
relationship from their beginnings.
Jo Ann Brewster-Cheatham
Pure Jazz Magazine’s founder and
publisher always pushed for continued
support of CBJC. She felt
CBJC was one of the foundations
PJM was built upon. Jitu Weusi the
first chairmen of CBJC said many
times “Jo Ann Brewster-Cheatham
and her magazine Pure Jazz must
be supported; it’s a magazine by us
about us.”
One of the last things Jo Ann said
before her recent transition was to
implore her family to continue the
relationship robustly. On that note
Pure Jazz Magazine has pledged to
do its best to continue the relationship
by publishing the CBJC Festival
Journal renamed CBJC Festival
Magazine. The CBJC Festival
Magazine is a statement of CBJC
from it inception until today. Pure
Jazz Magazine has published stories
during the years that had an impact
on the CBJC membership. A few
articles from different eras of the
magazine are included in this issue.
Please continue your support of
Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium
and Pure Jazz Magazine as we try
our very best to build on Ms Chatham’s
high standards.
With Appreciation,
Dwight Brewster
Interim Managing Director
Jo Ann Brewster-Cheatham
“Jo Ann Brewster-Cheatham and her magazine
Pure Jazz must be supported, it’s a magazine by us about us.”
