Royal Academy Jazz Orchestra
hard bop swing contemporary jazz
Influences: Count Basie, Thad Jones, Maria Schneider
The Royal Academy Jazz Orchestra is a big band of student musicians from the Royal Academy of Music in London, playing driving swing arrangements alongside modern large-ensemble jazz charts. The sound is punchy brass and reed sections over a tight rhythm section, with soloists taking turns over classic and contemporary repertoire. The group draws its players from one of the UK's leading conservatoire jazz programmes, so the show showcases the next generation of British jazz talent.
