The Chicago Jazz Composers Collective will present a concert of original jazz Sunday March 18 from 2 to 4 PM at the Green Mill, 4802 N. Broadway in Chicago. Featured at 2:00 will be the Artists-in-Residence Sextet with composers Dave Onderdonk, Jeff Beer, Kathy Kelly and Geof Bradfield. At 3:00 we will feature composer/pianist Charles D. Bayne and his sextet.

Inspired by New York's Jazz Composers Collective, the Chicago Jazz Composers Collective formed in 2001 and began presenting monthly concerts at the Green Mill, each featuring the work of two different jazz composers. Since then the CJCC has presented the music of 40 composers with over 130 Chicago area musicians performing. "It has been so encouraging to watch this grow", says founder and vibraphonist/composer Kathy Kelly. "We now have a regular forum for creating, performing, and listening to new music. The composers have really taken this opportunity to perform and used it to create some outstanding original music." In addition to the monthly concerts, CJCC has twice presented concert series' at the Chicago Cultural Center. The group has also been featured on WBEZ's Eight Forty-Eight program and in Grammy Magazine online.
