A Swinging Christmas With Swing Machine Jazz Orchestra
Big Band Jazz at its finest with Edward Leaker’s ever popular big band. Big Band and Christmas classics to get you in the festive mood! With guest vocalists Heather Wensley and Marvin Muoneké.
Swing Machine Jazz Orchestra brings together some of the UK’s finest jazz musicians under the leadership of saxophonist Edward Leaker.
The original concept for the band was to form a professional big band that would demonstrate the talents of the many fabulous jazz musicians in the South West of England whilst performing classic and modern big band music to the highest level. The Orchestra has been performing to packed audiences since 2010 and has received rave reviews from audiences and musicians alike.
The musicians’ collective experience is truly exceptional. Between them they have performed for some of the top musical groups in the country including: Piccadilly Dance Orchestra, Strictly Come Dancing Live Band, National Youth Jazz Orchestra (NYJO), Rat Pack National Touring Shows, BBC Big Band, RPO, LSO, Syd Lawrence Orchestra and literally hundreds of smaller bands.
