For HEART’s second offering in the Leeds Jazz Festival programme, Jazz@HEART is presenting Leeds Jazz Orchestra…

Leeds Jazz Orchestra is dedicated to the rehearsal and performance of Big Band Jazz under our Musical Director, Colin Byrne. We delight in an eclectic mix of repertoire from Bebop, Blues and Ballads through to cutting-edge modern Jazz Orchestra numbers. Classic big band arrangements from Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus sit alongside numbers written specifically for the band by up-and-coming new composers.
