Cairo Jazz Club
Cairo Jazz Club is an Egyptian music hub located in Cairo featuring musical performances and serving food and bar selections. It opens room for new talents, while hosting international artists. The club hosts a different event every day, covering various genres, in addition to the occasional themed nights.

History
The club was founded in 2001 by Akram El Sherif, Alexander Rizk and Ammar Dajani to develop an independent music scene in Egypt. The club started out with only one live night a week every Thursday. To increase exposure, CJC reached out to local media, and Egypt Today was a media sponsor of the first CJC Festival.

CJC’s original bands included the Riff Band, Eftekesat and Yehia Khalil. As the bands grew in number, more live nights were added with a more concentrated music direction for each night.

Cairo Jazz Club Agency
Later in 2010, Cairo Jazz Club Agency was established as an independent entity of Cairo Jazz Club to enhance the live music scene in Egypt. It worked on cultural events, organizing festivals, booking artists, managing performances for venues and initiating music workshops.
