[NEohioPAL] THE CLEVELAND JAZZ ORCHESTRA REVISITS WOODSTOCK, JANIS JOPLIN, and a WORLD PREMIERE BY AIDAN PLANK

[Theresa Lesh]

On Friday, May 1, the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra will perform a jazz-infused
version of the seminal music festival: Woodstock, leading Clevelanders on a
magical, mystery tour of Woodstock classics.

The evening at the Maltz Performing Arts Center features the full CJO
reinterpreting Santana, Sly Stone, Jimi Hendrix, and Credence Clear Water
Revival.

Joining the CJO is Clevelander and Tony Award(c) Nominee Mary Bridget
Davies. Davies received rave reviews and a Tony nomination for her tribute
to Janis Joplin, “A Night with Janis Joplin”. The CJO is proud to accompany
her on such songs as, “Piece of My Heart” and “Try a Little Harder”.

This final concert of the 25-26 season will include a new composition by
bassist Aidan Plank. “The name of my new piece is ‘Billy’,” Plank offered,
“is a tribute to Billy Strayhorn. The piece is featured on my album “Where
We Started” which was released on Hidden Cinema Records on April 24, 2026.”

The Cleveland Jazz Orchestra is Northeast Ohio’s premier jazz voice since
1985. Through inventive arrangements and original music, the CJO brings
audiences the best jazz they’ve ever heard and the best jazz they’ve never
heard. We are celebrating our 41st season.
