Jim Anderson is a Cincinnati-based bassist and composer with over 50 years in jazz performance and education. A Berklee and CCM alum, he co-founded The Cohesion Jazz Ensemble, releasing *A Journey’s Quest*, which featured seven of his original tunes. In 2022, he launched The Semaj A. Consort, continuing his dedication to traditional mainstream jazz. Jim has performed with artists such as Benny Golson and Delfeayo Marsalis and appeared at local series, including "It’s Commonly Jazz" and The Greenwich Trio event at Caffè Vivace. A founding member of JazzAlive, Inc., he also taught at Xavier University and served as a jazz educator for youth programs across the region. Jim was inducted into the Cincinnati Jazz Hall of Fame in 2019.
Formed in 2022, The Semaj A. Consort is the latest jazz project led by bassist Jim Anderson, evolving from his longtime group, The Cohesion Jazz Ensemble. Featuring brass, reeds, and rhythm, the group performs as a flexible quintet or sextet, with a focus on traditional jazz and improvisation. Recent performances include concerts with Oliver Nelson Jr. and appearances at It’s Commonly Jazz events. New music composed by Jim will culminate in a multi-part work, to be performed publicly in 2024–25 and recorded for release in 2025, with a final performance in 2026. All compositions will be published under The Semaj A. Consort.
