Founded by retired attorney Gene Hall and a local jazz musician and professor of Jazz Studies at Johnson County Community College Jim Mair and his wife Mary, KCJO sprung to life at an inaugural concert with Marilyn Maye and the newly formed band on November 21, 2003. 20 years later, Marilyn joined the Orchestra on stage with 6 of the original band members in that original concert. This concert took place on October 27 and 28th at the Folly Theater and was a culmination of growth and investment in the future of The Kansas City Jazz Orchestra and a full rebranding. During the 20th season, KCJO embarked on several projects to both commemorate 20 years and set the stage for the next chapter of jazz excellence. Season Expansion: This was perhaps the most consequential decision that the organization had made for many years. Described as a "wither and die or grow and bloom moment," the Board approved the expansion of the season to include the Folly as a venue and to perform more programs and consecutive runs to engage more audiences. 17726 0 3137 Riff Generation is a 10-member ensemble that spends their year-long residency collaborating and creating new jazz tunes based on a riff in the Kansas City Style. This ensemble has allowed more performance opportunities for more musicians, including musicians who may not have been trained in the common Euro-Centric style. This series allows KCJO to engage more local musicians and develop new audience members. Musicians audition for a one-year residency and perform these works for audiences. Beginning in the 2024-2025 Season, Riff concerts will be performed at KC PBS through our new partnership. 185287 0 50677 The Kansas City Jazz Orchestra firmly believes that familiarity and understanding are the first steps to love and appreciation. We offer a variety of educational events and materials, created and led by our incredible musicians and our guest artists. Groove N' Learn is an engaging and interactive way for elementary-middle school students to learn about, and develop a life-long love for jazz music. A trio of KCJO musicians play fun tunes during school lunches through Jazz Cafe as a way to bring jazz music into kids' everyday life. KCJO musicians also go into schools to teach individual or groups of music students about jazz and/or their instruments. The last three summers KCJO has partnered with local summer camps. In summer 2024, we visited 19 locations and reached an estimated 2,000 students. 0 0 0 415350 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 55 0 1 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X Alyssa Bell Jackson 8162608335 300 E 39th Street Suite LL1H Kansas City MO 64111 Lea Petrie Executive Director 40 0 X 79312 0 0 Brian Johnston Board President 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Lee Brumitt Vice President 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Mike Fischer Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Gus Jianas Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Kim Gile Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Gary Hailes Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Rory Kirk Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Edwin Lowndes Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Zahid Nana Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Andrew Toews Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 79312 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 95999 0 33421 170307 14828 299727 Jazz Music Performance Fees 711130 205901 205901 0 0 Jazz Music Community Engagement Fees 711130 16735 16735 0 0 0 0 0 0 222636 534 0 0 534 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 53370 95999 63579 -10209 0 -10209 7317 0 7317 7317 0 0 Performance Advertisement Sales 900099 403 403 0 0 Miscellaneous Revenue 900099 7127 0 0 7127 0 0 0 0 7530 527535 230356 0 -2548 87090 16961 19245 50884 125957 75866 50091 0 16182 7734 5042 3406 14669 0 14669 0 52941 5530 38317 9094 53954 752 53202 0 14324 0 14324 0 3502 0 3502 0 15623 11638 3258 727 2805 236 2569 0 9733 206 0 9527 400 400 0 0 12016 9613 1802 601 Big Band Concert Expenses 213162 212337 -175 1000 Riff Generation Concert Expenses 17726 17726 0 0 Runouts and Community Engagement 56701 54521 -1275 3455 Recording Project 1830 1830 0 0 698615 415350 204571 78694 108929 35102 143727 33495 21474 15400 17659 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 842 4851 2000 733 1667 1267 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 294298 90115 8708 18376 0 0 43026 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 67 -226 51801 18150 X 185736 -18216 56761 90181 242497 71965 294298 90115 -171080 0 540 0 8 0 X 0 0 0 X 210546 300582 344810 408831 299727 1564496 155309 9253 168644 169658 229953 732817 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 365855 309835 513454 578489 529680 2297313 74181 139790 165878 230810 109575 720234 0 0 0 0 0 0 74181 139790 165878 230810 109575 720234 1577079 206 175 195 139 534 1249 0 0 0 0 0 0 206 175 195 139 534 1249 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 23034 46386 60900 130320 366061 310010 536683 625014 591114 2428882 0.64930 0.66598 0.00051 0.00040 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 2021: Gross income from fundraising events; 2022: Gross income from fundraising events; 2023: Gross income from fundraising events, miscellaneous income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2000 733 1267 0 0 0 0 1267 0 MO Entertainer's Tax -226 -226 States of Swing Gala 149368 95999 53369 0 14828 638 14295 575 26192 0 0 149368 95999 53369 0 14828 638 14295 575 26192 56528 -3159 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The form will be reviewed first by the Executive Director and Treasurer.
