The Remix Jazz Orchestra is a hard swinging and exciting 17-piece big band that was formed in September 2010 and it is one of the South’s premier big bands. The band contains some of the regions finest musicians and is directed by professional jazz trumpeter Stuart Henderson. Tonight the band will feature jazz vocalist Fleur Stevenson.
Since it’s inception the band has gone from strength to strength playing to packed out audiences of loyal fans and big band aficionados at it’s monthly concerts. All the band members are experienced musicians who enjoy working on a diverse range of big band music and the repertoire is more varied and challenging than many other big bands.
The Remix Jazz Orchestra often features nationally acclaimed jazz stars as special guests and in recent years these have included Derek Nash, Pete Long, Mark Nightingale, Tina May, Enrico Tomaso, Gordon Campbell and Simon Spillett.
The ethos is to never stand still and to always strive to keep the musicians (and the audience) on their toes! Concert programs include selections from the golden age of Swing through to more contemporary arrangers and composers.
A sample of just some composers and arrangers that the band features are: Basie, Ellington, Kenton, Herman, Goodman, Nestico, Hefti, Heath, Dankworth, Francy Boland, Thad Jones, Dave Wolpe, Mark Taylor, Gordon Goodwin along with contemporary arrangements from Jonathan Lewis and Alex Brown.
