Jazz Central is Central Oregon's swingingest vocal jazz ensemble and instrumental combo! Formed by director James Knox in 2019, Jazz Central has been thrilling audiences as they showcase time-tested favorites with arrangements old and new. The group’s pianist, Jack Krouscup, is not only an amazing jazz musician but also an extraordinary composer. He and Director James Knox both frequently contribute new music to the group’s repertoire.

Jazz Central is a proud member of the Cascade Chorale Association, a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization committed to making choral and jazz music accessible to everyone in the Central Oregon community. With generous donations from our community, the Cascade Chorale Association provides financial support for concert planning and execution, our accompanist and other musicians, programs, and advertising. COCC provides invaluable support in terms of a rehearsal space and our amazing director, James Knox.
