The Oakland Jazz Choir has been singing and bringing innovative and unique vocal jazz to the Bay Area since 1992. Oakland born and bred, they are one of just a few community jazz choirs in the nation singing cool, original and standard jazz material in a distinctive choral jazz setting.

The OJC has been an East Bay institution for almost 30 years. During this span the group has taken 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. They are committed to bringing vocal jazz performance and education to underserved audiences in the Bay Area and beyond.

Artistic director Ben Flint, a native of Memphis TN, is steeped in gospel, jazz and RB, but applies his diverse musical experience to finding a uniquely Oakland sound. This multicultural, multi-talented group of people volunteer their time, energy and skill to produce some of the sweetest harmonies around, accompanied by the superlative talents of pianist/arranger, Walter Bankovitch. Choir membership includes 14-17 singers, as diverse in age, religion, and race as their hometown.
