The Columbus Jazz Orchestra (CJO) was formed as a vehicle to create performance opportunities for jazz musicians in a big band setting. Forty-nine years later, the CJO is considered one of the world's finest jazz orchestras and a model for success, presenting big band jazz and world-renowned guest artists to thousands each year.
The flagship performing ensemble of the Jazz Arts Group, the Columbus Jazz Orchestra consists of musicians who are highly regarded as performers and educators across the country and around the globe. The CJO presents over 20 subscription concerts each season in Columbus, Ohio.
By incorporating contemporary arrangements into its repertoire and commissioning new arrangements and masterworks for jazz orchestra, the CJO promotes the future of big band jazz and cultivates the dynamic, adventurous spirit that has kept audiences coming back again and again.
The CJO has toured Europe and has collaborated with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, BalletMet Columbus, Columbus Gay Men’s Chorus, Cleveland Jazz Orchestra, ProMusica Chamber Orchestra, Opera Columbus, and the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company.
The CJO is led by world-renowned band leader and trumpet virtuoso Byron Stripling, former lead trumpet for the Count Basie Orchestra. Stripling has been a featured soloist with orchestras including the Boston Pops, Cincinnati Pops, the National Symphony, and the Pittsburgh Symphony. He has been a featured soloist at the Hollywood Bowl and performs at jazz festivals throughout the world. He has performed and recorded extensively with the bands of Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Herman, and Lionel Hampton, among others, as well as the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band and the GRP All-Star Big Band.
In 2020, Byron Stripling was appointed Principal Pops Conductor of the famed Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, holding the Henry and Elsie Hillman Principal Pops Conductor Chair. This is only the second time in the orchestra’s storied history that a Principal Pops Conductor has been named. In this new role, Stripling succeeds Emmy, Oscar, Tony, Grammy, Golden Globe and Pulitzer prize-winning composer/conductor Marvin Hamlisch.

VANESSA CAMPAGNA
Vanessa Campagna
It is her commanding presence and explosive stage personality along with her dynamic and versatile voice that makes Vanessa (VĒ) a fan favorite. These traits along with her passion to perform have earned her the opportunity to work with some of the best music entertainment people in the business as well as perform at some of the biggest music venues across the country. It is her diversity, yet vocal purity that earned her the respect of world-renowned multi-award-winning director/composer, Marvin Hamlisch. Marvin took Vanessa under his wing and developed her, taking her along with him to the National, Buffalo Philharmonic, and Pittsburgh Symphonies for a variety of shows. To this day, The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra still features Vanessa as a headliner in their Holiday Pops series.
When Vanessa isn’t out on tour, she spends her time in Nashville producing and writing music with A listers such as, mega-hit maker Desmond Child, multi #1 hit songwriter and producer Derek George, Chuck Jones, Bryan Todd and many more.
Throughout the years, Vanessa has shared the stage with some of the greatest artists in music such as Reba McEntire, Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, Idina Menzel, Gloria Estefan and more. You can also hear Vanessa vocally accompany multi-platinum Christian/Pop recording artist, Michael W. Smith on his new pop album, “A Million Lights,” as well as his latest album, “Awaken.” You can also hear her alongside Smith, featuring on the globally known, BILLBOARD top 10 hit song, “Waymaker,” streamed over a billion times.

A L L A B O U T T H A T B A S S ! CHRIS BERG
Chris BergFor 18 years bassist Chris Berg has been part of the Columbus Jazz Orchestra’s “holy trinity” – its stalwart rhythm section comprised of Berg, pianist Bobby Floyd and drummer Bob Breithaupt. The Columbus Jazz Orchestra bid a fond farewell this past summer to Chris as he announced his retirement.
"For years, CJO bassist Chris Berg’s swinging bass lines laid a solid foundation for the orchestra. His extraordinary musicianship, encyclopedic knowledge of all things jazz, and the camaraderie he created with his fellow musicians was beyond compare. We will miss him and wish him well as he retires.” -- Byron Stripling.
Mr. Berg holds a Master of Arts in Theory and Composition from Montclair State University, NJ and a Bachelor of Music in Double Bass Performance from the Manhattan School of Music in New York City.
He has enjoyed an active career in jazz for over 40 years as a performer in clubs, concerts, festivals, films, radio, and television with such leading musicians as Susanna McKorkle, Mel Lewis, Jimmy Knepper, Joe Albany, Chuck Wayne, Richie Cole, Mulgrew Miller, Eddie Daniels, Fred Hersh, Warren Vache, the Widespread Depression Orchestra, John Pizzarelli, Marty Grosz, Stanley Cowell, and more.
Chris Berg appears on dozens of commercial recordings with such performers as the Dells, Marty Grosz, Tim Cummiskey, the CCM Faculty Jazztet, Vivian Lord, Dick Mackie, the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, Dave Greer’s Classic Jazz Stompers, the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, and many others. His CDs of original compositions, A Man is a Tree and Sweet Sorrow, both on Hipgnosis Records, received critical acclaim.
He remains active as a composer/arranger and his songs, jazz compositions, and orchestral and chamber pieces have been performed and recorded by many artists. He has also written original music for film & television, musical theatre and video games.
As the former Director of Research and Music Development with Brain Actuated Technologies, Inc., Yellow Springs, OH, Chris designed, developed and patented software for brain-actuated music. He is the inventor of the Berg Bass-in-a-Box, a collapsible semi-acoustic bass. Berg is also assistant professor of Jazz Studies at Central State University, adjunct professor of Jazz Bass at Otterbein University, and a teacher in numerous clinics and workshops throughout the Midwest.
Thank you, Chris, for your inspired playing and dedicated service to the Jazz Arts Group, Columbus Jazz Orchestra and the jazz community of central Ohio.
