Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium The Central Brooklyn Jazz consortium is committed to the development of audiences and the nurturing of institutions and individuals throughout Brooklyn that specifically deal with Jazz as well as other African American cultural expressions (dance theater, visual arts, comedy and poetry.) CBJC a dynamic, voluntary consortium was organized in 1999 on behalf of community development to promote live jazz and other cultural activities. Historically, CBJC is the realization of years of discussion about the importance of establishing a consortium of organizations whose mission is to work collectively to preserve Black culture. Representatives of Jazz966 Torrie McCartney, Sistas’ Place Viola Plummer, SoFocus Leroy Applin and Jazzpazzaz Alma Carroll were the founding council. This diverse group of lifelong Central Brooklyn activists, musicians, community leaders, major non-profits, faithbased institutions, restaurants, café owners and cultural arts institutions were active members of CBJC. Educator and cultural activist Jitu Weusi was elected as the first chairperson in December 1999 along with Alma Carroll treasurer, Torrie McCartney facilitator, Colette Penn recording secretary and Loretta Washington financial secretary. Our Mission Over the past 17 years the organization has developed core programs that demonstrate the components of its mission. The annual gala celebrates the month long Jazz festival which features a live performance of a well established artist in the Jazz tradition. Jazz: The Woman’s ViewPoint is a unique program which provides a panel discussion setting for musician’s wives and husbands, female musicians and artists to share their views, talents and experiences with attendees. The Youth Jazz Jamboree and Wellness Day of music, fun and games while raising awareness of health issues. Our mission is to recognize the contributions of artists and the role they play in advancing the culture while promoting the dignity of people; to develop venues that are affordable, accessible and attractive to children, teenagers, men, women and elders to provide a forum for cultural exchanges; to build coalitions by working collectively and sharing information with the aim of reestablishing the spiritual and emotional connections between African American artists and their communities….. Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium/CBJC founded in 1999, is an amalgam of patrons, entertainment venues, faith based institutions, community organizations and musicians. Over the past sixteen (16) years CBJC has presented an annual spring festival, established a Brooklyn Jazz Hall of Fame & Museum and produced yearly programs that feature local jazz talent. CBJC is a nonprofit corporation committed to preserving, promoting and supporting live music within the underserved communities of Brooklyn broadcasting to the world. 4
