Big band entertainment like no other in North Texas
KAYJO provides free jazz concerts featuring world-class pros with the best local young musicians.
Who said "free concert" has to mean "amateur"?
The Keller Area Youth Jazz Orchestra features All-Region and All-State musicians with headliners from some of the top jazz bands.
Fun for all ages
Big band music isn’t just for older generations. Younger people enjoy getting into the swing of things, too. And kids love it!
Enriching
Big band jazz is fine art threatened with extinction—but not in Keller! Be inspired by the best young local talent.

Always free
Thanks to the generous support of local businesses, arts councils, and people like you, KAYJO concerts are free to all who want to attend.
This ain't no kiddie show!
Be entertained by the best young musicians
Big band music is fun, positive, and uplifting for anyone. Since 2010, we have entertained the community while providing DFW-area All Region and All State musicians a way to hone their instruments.
These kids don’t sound like kids. They play at a professional level, often onstage with professional jazz musicians. Our guests have included musicians from Count Basie, Stan Kenton, Lincoln Center, the US Naval School of Music, and even Blood, Sweat & Tears.
Mark your calendar for our next show and come see what you’re missing!
