The Sarah Jane Cion Trio was the opening act for the George Coleman Quartet at the Mellon Jazz Festival in Pittsburgh. The Trio was presented in concert by Savannah On Stage in March 2001, and at the Smithsonian Institution-Voice of America Stage in Washington D.C. in May 2001. A request festival performer, Cion also played in the Kennedy Center Mary Lou Williams Jazz Festival, The Minnesota Jazz Festival, WJCT Jacksonville and the Indy Jazz Fest.
Cion's recordings highlighting her original compositions include Summer Night, featuring saxophonist Michael Brecker (#12 on the Yellowdog jazz chart), Moon Song, among the top selling modern jazz albums in Japan (2000) with Chris Potter, and Indeed! with Antonio Hart.
She has performed and recorded with many other artists including Clark Terry, Etta Jones, Anita O'Day, Della Griffin, Carmen Leggio, Gerry Neiwood, Bucky Pizzarelli, Dr. Lyn Christie, Don Braden, James McBride and the BMI Jazz Orchestra among many others. Cion performs in the major jazz venues of the United States. She has brought her magic to New York's Blue Note, Iridium, Birdland, Mezzrow, and New Hersey's Trumpets, Cecil's, The Cornerstone, and Ceceres. Cion's book Modern Jazz Piano (published by Hal Leonard) is the standard theory manual at Princeton University.
Her music has appeared on ABC's long-running daytime soap, All My Children, and her original composition "Golden Song" appeared in the movie Thor: The Dark World, as well as "Cat in the Hat" in Clint Eastwood's 2019 The Mule. She has toured Israel, Portugal, Japan, Germany, Austria and England.[5]
