In 2013, 18 jazz musicians from Cologne founded the Subway Jazz Orchestra (SJO). The home of this big band, which is organized as a collective, is the former Cologne jazz club Subway on Aachener Straße, where concerts with the SJO have been held regularly ever since. The aim of the big band is to always bring a new program to the club's small stage. In addition, well-known composers such as Maria Schneider, Anna Webber and Nils Wogram often work with the orchestra. The SJO also commissions compositions from up-and-coming composers, establishes networks and creates collaborations with event organizers and educational institutions. Sam Amidon has been invited to the SJO concert at Cologne Jazzweek. This singer and multi-instrumentalist's work is rooted in the traditional roots music of the USA. But he always opens it up to other genres and genres of contemporary music in order to reveal its transcultural components.
