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. 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.

The Freedom Jazz Orchestra 's Reviews

I saw the Freedom Jazz Orchestra play a Christmas big band cracker concert and they were fantastic! They played a full repertoire of classic Christmas swing numbers, and some new and original arrangements by the band leader. I was amazed to be hearing such a professional band playing in a small venue! Soloists were very impressive, especially the highly entertaining bass trombone. The band look really good, and sound even better. I can’t wait to hear them again!

I don't know what I was expecting as I have not really listened to jazz or big bands, but it was absolutely brilliant. It seemed that nearly all members of the band played more than one instrument expertly. The sound was amazing. Some familiar tunes had been arranged differently to suit the big band and they played a real variety. I would highly recommend going to see them and will definitely be going again myself.
