Description
The Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra (WJO) is Canada’s first community-based, non-profit professional jazz orchestra. Founded in 1997 (registered charity in 2000), the WJO has matured to become an important part of Winnipeg’s cultural landscape, reflected in the ongoing support the organization receives from the Manitoba Arts Council, the Winnipeg Arts Council, the Winnipeg Foundation, and other sponsors.
The mandate of the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra is to be an instrumental force in the promotion and development of big band jazz in Manitoba and beyond, through performance, composition, recording and education.
The new album Tidal Currents: East Meets West is based on the compositions conductor/composer Jill Townsend and saxophonist Christine Jensen brought to the TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival in 2022 - a Canada Council-supported work commissioned by the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra, bringing together these considerable writing talents.
