About Cjazz
Since 1994, Cjazz has promoted, produced and presented recording artists of contemporary music. Cjazz was founded by Michele Abrams, an
entrepreneur residing in Seattle WA. Passionate about music and philanthropy, Michele has a special interest in supporting nonprofit
organizations. She lost both parents to cancer which was the impetus to using her experience in the music industry to raise money for
cancer research. Cjazz works with a talented team of web developers, designers, production professionals, and sponsors, all of
whom make Cjazz's work possible.
