JoGo Project Pre-Release Celebration: Keeping Faith Alive in 2025

The JoGo Project returns to Keystone Korner October 9th to celebrate the release of their upcoming EP “Keeping Faith Alive in 2025”, which will be released in November on the Growroom Productions label.

Founded in 2014 by Saxophonist and Chuck Brown alum Elijah Jamal Balbed, The JoGo Project is a Jazz and Go-Go fusion band aiming to educate people about DC’s Go-Go music and continue the legacy the Godfather of Go-Go Chuck Brown created with his own brand of Jazz and Go-Go. The JoGo Project has received one WAMMIE Award and been nominated for another, traveled to Russia on a cultural diplomacy tour, and released one EP, many singles, and collaborations with Sugar Bear, Wes Felton, JusPaul, and others. The JoGo Project puts an emphasis on writing and releasing original Go-Go music.

In 2022, Elijah debuted “The JoGo Big Band” - an expanded 15-piece version of The JoGo Project combining elements of Big Band Jazz and Go-Go Music into one. Look out for more from The JoGo Big Band in 2026, as well as the upcoming JoGo Project album “Keeping Faith Alive in 2025”.
