The Berkshire Jazz Orchestra (BJO) is a 17-piece ensemble based in Fairfield County that has been keeping the music of the big band genre fresh and alive since 1987! The band plays music covering a wide range of eras and styles, from big bands of the swing era through contemporary concert jazz orchestras performing today. The program will include arrangements of music composed or performed by Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Lester Young, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Frank Sinatra, Chuck Mangione, Natalie Cole, and many others.

The BJO includes seasoned professional musicians and area music educators who have performed with artists such as the Stan Kenton Orchestra, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Sal Salvador’s “Colors in Sound,” Larry Coryell, Todd Rundgren, Vicki Sue Robinson, The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Rascals, and many others. In addition to the band’s outstanding soloists, stellar vocalist Jan Maki will be featured performing music from the Great American Songbook.

The BJO is led by founder Chip Zellner. The group is currently under the musical direction of Bethel resident and longtime area performer, Jon Saxon.

Come experience the full range of power, emotion, excitement, and subtleties that only a large, live jazz orchestra can present!.
