In every living soul, a spirit cries for expression … perhaps this plaintive, wailing song of
Jazz is, after all, the misunderstood utterance of a prayer.”
Opening title card from the 1927 film
“The Jazz Singer,” featuring Al Jolson
Dedicated to greatly expanding the study of jazz arts across both popular media and the fine arts,
the CJA’s visual arts activities are building a prominent, new, public showcase for the history of jazz culture
throughout the fields of Filmmaking, Broadcast, Photography, Graphics, Illustration, and Design.
The CJA will continuously be expanding and updating its online visual arts content.
Online and physical exhibitions will be launched in conjunction with a variety of community programs
involving the work of both established and emerging artists from around the world.
