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. Jazz Café: This program launched last year and has since reached more than 3500 students. This is a no barrier program wherein a KCJO jazz trio performs a free concert during school lunch, thus reaching the entire student body; giving some enjoyment to a school day, which sometimes the teachers say they didn't know they needed. 38256 0 41202 Riff Generation: Finding the right venue has perhaps been more challenging than finding a tremendously talented group of jazz composers and musicians to make up Riff Generation, 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. 221265 0 5102 Studio Album: One such project was producing the first studio album in more than 7 years, entitled "In the Key of KC," replete with new jazz compositions and a classic, Moten Swing honoring the Kansas City style of yesterday and today. This album features tunes written by talented members of the Orchestra and regular guest vocalist, Eboni Fondren. The album has been released on limited edition vinyl, cd, and streaming. Commemorative Book: To complement the studio album, Libby Hanssen, a local journalist and musician, authored a commemorative book for the Kansas City Jazz Orchestra's 20th anniversary, entitled States of Swing: the History of the Kansas City Jazz Orchestra, 2003-2023. This LP-sized publication highlighted the history of the organization and honored those who have made KCJO as successful as it is today, while also illustrating the artistic and organizational vision for the coming 20 years. It is now a part of the Kansas City Library Circulation and UMKC Miller Nichols Library. 0 0 0 429527 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 58 0 1 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 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 X Alyssa Bell Jackson 8162608335 300 E 39th Street Suite LL1H Kansas City MO 64111 Lea Petrie Executive Director 40 0 X 80345 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 Jennifer Trusty Past Board President 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Benny Lee Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Gary Hailes Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 James Prevost Board Member 1.5 0 X 0 0 0 Kim Gile Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Rebecca Dowell Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Zahid Nana Board Member 1.5 0 X 0 0 0 80345 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 112082 0 22916 273833 3225 408831 Jazz Music Performance Fees 711130 164179 164179 0 0 Jazz Music Community Engagement Fees 711130 880 880 0 0 0 0 0 0 165059 139 139 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 43934 112082 42264 1670 0 1670 0 0 0 0 0 0 4599 0 4599 4599 0 0 Performance Advertisement Sales 900099 2452 0 0 2452 0 0 0 0 2452 582750 169797 0 4122 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 83951 16790 16790 50371 0 0 0 0 136081 73847 62234 0 0 0 0 0 5625 0 5625 0 17082 7186 6043 3853 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24379 0 24379 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 46174 2000 41958 2216 66059 37893 28166 0 12087 0 11995 92 4194 0 4194 0 0 0 0 0 14436 11549 2165 722 1651 0 1651 0 0 0 0 0 6193 2103 1020 3070 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 333 333 0 0 6189 4952 928 309 Big Band Concert Expenses 168031 168031 0 0 Riff Generation Concert Expenses 38256 38256 0 0 Runouts & Community Engagement 53894 53894 0 0 Recording Project Expenses 12693 12693 0 0 0 0 0 0 697308 429527 207148 60633 78815 108929 243718 143727 30100 21474 48280 17659 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1179 842 2000 333 0 1667 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 402092 294298 5395 8708 0 0 39375 43026 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 180 67 44950 51801 X 299305 185736 57837 56761 357142 242497 402092 294298 X -114558 0 0 0 -85 -2 X 0 0 0 X 310991 210546 300582 344810 408831 1575760 177807 155309 9253 168644 169658 680671 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 488798 365855 309835 513454 578489 2256431 96177 74181 139790 165878 230810 706836 0 0 0 0 0 0 96177 74181 139790 165878 230810 706836 1549595 222 206 175 195 139 937 0 0 0 0 0 0 222 206 175 195 139 937 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 23034 46386 69420 489020 366061 310010 536683 625014 2326788 0.66598 0.733 0.00040 0.00047 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 2021: Gross income from fundraising events; 2022: Gross income from fundraising events.
