The Portland Jazz Composers’ Ensemble (PJCE) is a 12-piece jazz chamber orchestra which
commissions, performs and records original works by its members and by other jazz composers
in the Portland music community and beyond.
PJCE’s mission is to create and perform original jazz music that engages and supports our
community’s diverse artists, cultures and place. PJCE envisions a vibrant jazz community where
composers, performers, students and audiences create, see and hear their cultural experiences
artistically expressed and represented in original jazz compositions and performance.
