OUJO....
Oxford University Jazz Orchestra was founded by students in the early 1990s, notable alumni include Canadian jazz vocalist Diane Nalini, trumpeter and NYJO musical director Mark Armstrong, London-based trombonist Callum Au, saxophonists Carlos Lopez-Real and Idris Rahman, and ENO conductor Stephen Higgins.
OUJO has been a multiple-time winner at the BBC Radio 2 National Big Band Competition, and has performed at the Oeuf de Jazz Festival in Le Mans, the OK! Celebrity Ball in London, and the Bull's Head jazz venue in Barnes, west London.
...and Friends...
Oxford plays host to a variety of exceptionally talented young jazz musicians, so expect the first half of this concert to showcase the best of them playing standards and improvisations in duets, trios and other combinations in every way they know how. Expect a fascinating showcase of young and emerging talent that is certain to go on over the coming years to make an indelible mark on jazz and its performance in the years to come.
Our contribution...
All the profits from our concerts (after paying the musicians) are passed to the St Giles' Fund Raising team in support of the musical training of our young people, enhancing the facilities in the church and installing a new organ. You can read more about this at https://sg900.org/st-giles-academy.
