About
The LJO welcome for an opening set guests Jazzhaus Jugendorchester from Freiburg, Germany. Made up of the best young musicians from the southwest of the country, they perform across Germany and Switzerland, have made tours to the USA and France, and appear in the UK for the first time. Mixing classic big band repertoire with music by contemporary British and German composers, the band is directed by British pianist and composer Will Bartlett and will feature guest saxophonist Josephine Davies.
The LJO’s following set features original arrangements by Kenny Wheeler, Scott Stroman, Pete Hurt, Miguel Gorodi, and Noel Langley of jazz standards and pieces re-imagined for the magnificent band.
