National Youth Jazz Orchestra featuring special guest Soweto Kinch and members of City of Hull Youth Jazz Orchestras and the University of Hull Big Band
NYJO (National Youth Jazz Orchestra) is world-famous as a glittering showcase for the country’s best young musicians. Since NYJO’s founding, by Bill Ashton OBE in 1965, most of the current generation of top British jazz musicians have risen through its ranks, often becoming established jazz stars whilst still playing with the band. Classics from the big band canon sit alongside specially commissioned new arrangements by band members and leading contemporary UK composers. From hard-swinging rhythm section to a raft of hugely talented young soloists, this is a big band in fine form.
Award winning alto-saxophonist and MC Soweto Kinch is one of the most exciting and versatile young musicians on the British jazz and hip hop scenes.
