Baltimore Jazz Collective - Baltimore Jazz Collective (2025)

The Baltimore Jazz Collective is a Peabody Conservatory-based ensemble of faculty artists and Baltimore-area musicians that features each member’s musical voice, compositions, and arrangements. Though there is no single band leader, trumpeter and Richard and Elizabeth Case Chair of Jazz Studies Sean Jones formed the Collective in 2019. He drew inspiration from his time in the SFJAZZ Collective, where every member is responsible for contributing compositions. Many of the Baltimore Jazz Collective’s performances have been hosted at Baltimore’s newest jazz club, Keystone Korner, operated by National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master Todd Barkan. In addition, with generous support from Johns Hopkins University, the Collective has written and recorded new music and arrangements.
