Musically Minded Academy presents The Oakland Jazz Choir

OJC is back to Oakland!
After a month “on the road,” we’re ready for our home town audience with some new sounds as well as some old favorites.

Come join us for an evening of fun, fellowship, and music and support TWO local arts non-profits at the same time!

The music is always better with you!

Musically Minded Academy is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, whose mission is to build community through performance based education.
The Oakland Jazz Choir, a non-profit, has been an institution for over twenty years.

During this span the group has taken on many shapes, sizes and forms, but the common denominator has always been the same: Joy of expression, using the voice to communicate the triumphs as well as the turbulence of the human spirit.
While jazz forms the base of our musical concept, OJC ventures far from that base, but always putting a jazzy twist on the material. Artistic Director Ben Flint, a native of Memphis, TN, is steeped in gospel, jazz and R&B, but applies his diverse musical experience to finding a uniquely Oakland sound.

Directed by Ben Flint, and accompanied by Walter Bankovitch on piano, Fred Randolph on bass, and Michaelle Goerlitz on percussion, we’ll transport you on a musical carpet ride of
original tunes & unique arrangements of classic & contemporary jazz, R&B & Brasilian, with a touch of pop and acapella which include Herbie Hancock, Djavan, Horace Silver, Pat Metheny, Queen…Queen? and more.
