The Freedom Jazz Orchestra can work as a 17/18 piece big band or a 22 piece jazz ensemble with the option of adding an additional string section and both options having vocalists. They gave their premier performance in December 2023 featuring musicians from Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. 

 

They currently rehearse at Manea’s Royal British Legion Club and hold occasional concerts there to raise funds to keep the band running and work towards new projects they have in mind. 

​

The orchestra play music from the old and new big band styles with their library containing the music of Glenn Miller, Don Lusher, and Benny Goodman through to the current day compositions of Bob Curnow, Elliot Deutsch and Gordon Goodwin.

​

We pride ourselves on putting on a great show and we always make sure the audience has a memorable time whenever they see us.
