The Sunshine Jazz Organization was created in Miami, FL in 1986 by avid jazz fans who often gathered at the home of Jazz Radio icon, Charles "China" Valles, and his wife Thelma. China was elected president and, from the onset, "SJO" has presented year-around concerts, workshops, community outreach events, newsletter, Arts in Parks and Community Centers etc. SJO sponsors services and events including The Annual South Florida Jazz Hall of Fame Inductions, founded by International recording artist Alice Day.
Numerous renowned musicians have collaborated with the SJO over the years including Lou Donaldson, Freddy Cole, Lonnie Smith, Diane Schuur, Monty Alexander, Houston Person, Stanley Turrentine, Carmen Lundy, Melton Mustafa, Duffy Jackson and many more.
We are very pleased to be featuring another founding SJO member and world-renowned Saxophone treasure, Mr. Richie Cole, with his Alto Madness Orchestra as entertainment for this 31st Anniversary celebration. The festivities will take place in the ballroom with full dinner and bar service, and ample free parking. Reservations are strongly recommended.
