NYO Jazz in London, England

Wednesday, August 1, 2018 7:30 PM Cadogan Hall

Sean Jones by Jimmy Katz, Dianne Reeves by Jerris Madison

Following in the footsteps of the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America (NYO-USA), NYO Jazz makes its debut tour to Europe. This new program for gifted young musicians ages 16–19 from across the country gives the next generation of American jazz players the opportunity to learn from some of today’s top artists and perform as cultural ambassadors for international audiences. NYO Jazz’s program, led by virtuoso trumpeter Sean Jones and featuring Grammy Award–winning vocalist Dianne Reeves as special guest, ranges from standards written for the Duke Ellington and Count Basie jazz orchestras to contemporary arrangements that showcase the diversity and scope of American music—and of the big band itself.
