Two Back to Back Performances by the OJE May 2 and 4!
The 18-member Otsego Jazz Ensemble (OJE) is has two public performances this week in Otsego, and you’re invited!

Liquid Note Brewing at the Arpeggio opened in February. On tap are Psychedelic Haze, Badfish, Satchmo’s Lullaby, A Hard Day’s Pale Ale and DC Rocking Wheat, all of which are named to honor a deceased musician.

OJE has been around 30 years, and is coming off recent great performances at the WMU Senior Prom and the Thornapple Jazz Festival. Come out and hear classic big band, Sinatra, as well as jazz and rock. We play classic big band, Ian Brown sings the great standards ala Frank Sinatra, and the band plays a wide variety of swing, jazz and rock.
