Jazz Composers Alliance, Inc.
The JCA was established in 2001 as a not for profit organization
that serves as a catalyst for the creation, development, and
presentation of original works of Jazz. By organizing a musical
exchange for original ideas and works by jazz composers, the JCA
has become a beacon for those seeking musical expression and
experimentation.
The JCA routinely provides the composer the opportunity to hear,
experiment, and expose their works in a venue outside of the
commercial (nightclub) or university. To date the JCA has
premiered over 50 new works by composers-in-residence in the
Richmond metropolitan area. Additionally, the JCA has assisted in
recording 30 new works by composers-in-residence.
The JCA also supports the development of new audiences for Jazz
through education. The Jazz Mentors Project provides mentorship
and instruction to aspiring young musicians in theory,
improvisation, and performance skill.
