The LJJO NRW has made a name for itself in particular through unusual and innovative projects. Above all, this includes collaborations with artists and ensembles from other musical genres as well as with classical orchestras. The willingness and competence with which the select ensemble works across styles leads to numerous interesting combinations that arouse curiosity and sometimes even provoke. In addition, there are regular invitations to renowned soloists from the fields of jazz, pop and chanson. As cultural ambassadors for NRW in the field of jazz, the orchestra has toured 41 times around the globe. In 2010, the band won first prize at the national competition for selective orchestras, as it did in 2006, and in 2013 it was awarded the WDR Jazz Prize in the category "NRW Jazz Newcomers".
The 2016 WDR Jazz Prize in the "Composition" category was won by the artistic director of the JJO, Stefan Pfeifer-Galilea. Gabriel Perez also won this prize in 2008.
