The group was founded by Dr. Herminio Diaz, music director.
The idea was to give talented, Twin Cities area musicians an opportunity to learn playing "Big Band" jazz styles.
Upon The retirement of Dr. Diaz, we changed our name from Inver Hills Community College Jazz Band to RIVER CITY JAZZ ORCHESTRA, and is now self managed by its own members as a non-profit organization.
