Hugo Jennings Big Band

About

The Hugo Jennings Big Band is fast gaining a reputation as one of the most swinging and unique voices on the London jazz scene. This performance will see some of the very finest musicians in Britain perform a broad variety of repertoire, including scenes from Jennings's new show "Romeo and Juliet in Swing", featuring original arrangements of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. They will also perform arrangements from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Oliver!, and the Sound of Music, as well as big band classics from the Duke Ellington and Count Basie Orchestras, the Dizzy Gillespie big band and Terry Gibbs Dream Band, and much more.
