We are deeply saddened by the passing of CJ Johnson in November, 2025. CJ was an important part of our organization, and his dedication to Oaktown Jazz Workshops continues to inspire us.

As an Oaktown Jazz Workshops parent, CJ was wholeheartedly committed to the vision and goals of our community-based organization. CJ generously volunteered his time to provide operations support for both musicians and staff during public concerts, helping ensure every performance ran smoothly. He brought years of experience managing live music events from his previous role managing gospel groups in the Bay Area. We are grateful for his lasting contributions to Oaktown Jazz Workshops as our House Manager.
