Saturdays in the Park: Jump ‘n’ Jive Big Band
This summer, join CCAC on the Second Saturday of the month from 10 am – 12 pm for a free, family-friendly concert at Inwood Park! From bluegrass to big band swing, R&B to Latin, each month’s performance will have your toes tapping and your body moving. Gather up friends and family then settle in for a musical morning.
Jump ‘n’ Jive Big Band
Jump ‘n’ Jive Big Band is one of the area’s great swinging bands with updated music for all ages! Our performances are packed with hits you are sure to enjoy. With swingin’ arrangements, the band generates energy and enjoyment everywhere they perform. Maybe you will even grab your partner and start dancing!
We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, comprised of 14 to 19 professional musicians (trumpets, trombones, saxophones, and full rhythm section – drums, bass, guitar, piano) as well as conductor & singers. The band members donate their time and talents toward our mission and purpose.
Jump ‘n’ Jive Big Band was founded in 2008 by Jerry Beck. Initially, rehearsals were originally held at Xavier University through the generosity of Ph.D. Kaleel Skeirik, Professor of Music.
Look through the map below to find different areas to park depending on which direction you’re coming from. The most direct access to the picnic shelter is down Wellington Pl which includes street parking and a small lot near the picnic shelter. A secondary lot and bus stop for the 46 and 78 lines is on Vine St.
In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be canceled. CCAC staff monitor the weather closely throughout the day of the concert and make a final decision the morning of the concert (typically by 8 am). In the event of a weather cancellation, we will share that information on this page, on our socials, and with our email list.
