Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium

The Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium (CBJC) is a not for profit arts organization. Jitu Weusi was one of the co-founders. CBJC organized an annual jazz festival in Central Brooklyn, New York and created the Brooklyn Jazz Hall of Fame and Museum. The festival occurs every April.

This music series is New York City's longest running festival dedicated to straight ahead jazz. This celebration of jazz presents 35 events on 23 days with more than 100 musicians performing in clubs, venues, colleges, faith-based and cultural institutions throughout this borough of New York City. Brooklynites, jazz musicians such as Cecil Payne, Betty Carter, and Kenny Durham as well as less heralded artists Cal Massey, Betty Roche, Gigi Gryce, and C. Scoby Stroman contributions are remembered by way of conferences and performances.
