About Us

Corsair Blue Jazz Orchestra: Big Band Swing played with excellence.

2025 marks the beginning of CBJO's second decade of  performing the best swing music of all generations.  From the the days of grand ballrooms and couples dancing the night away to Miller and Dorsey, to the Rat Pack,  Basie, Kenton, Nestico we bring the style and energy  of this music back to life with  20 accomplished musicians and vocalists. CBJO provides their audiences with the unmistakable sound from the 1940’s through today's contemporary big band sound . Since its founding in 2014, the band has performed for audiences of all ages.  In addition to performing for concerts and dances across the region, the band was established as a “not for profit” organization to “give back” with the objective of supporting our veterans as well as working with students and sharing the music we love with our community.  

Except for the “Great Pause” we all endured in 2020 and 2021, the band has performed free concerts for Veterans  at the Lebanon VA Medical Center since our founding.                                                 

In 2019 CBJO started an annual Veterans Day  Benefit Concert, 100%  of the proceeds are forwarded to the to  organization our Veterans Day Concert is supporting.                       

One audience member summed up the CBJO experience like this: 

"That's the real stuff, isn't it? It sounded just like the old bands."
