Swing Into Christmas With the Exeter Jazz Orchestra

Swing into Christmas with a night of jazz classics, golden age groovers and cool carols, as the Exeter Jazz Orchestra make their triumphant, trumpeting return to Exeter Library with another Swingin' show following 3 sold-out annual performances. A Christmassy tradition that will one day rival paper hats and naff office parties. About the bandFounded in 2021 to beat the pandemic blues, this Big Band has gone from 0-60 in no time at all. You may have already caught them filling the high-street with joyful jazz at the Jubilee or playing around in the park at the Respect Festival. About the musicExpect a full line up of some of Exeter and Devon's premier musicians, under the direction of jazz saxophonist Will Paley. From Count Basie and Glenn Miller through to the more modern sounds of Buddy Rich and Gordon Goodwin (and with just about everything else in between!) Plus some festive cheer, and Christmas classics with a twist. You're sure to hear something that gets you tapping your toes. Come along, bop the night away, beat those winter blues and catch EJO at their jazzy, snazzy best. Doors from 19:30 - the band kicks off at 20:00.There will be pop-up bar serving soft drinks and booze. Tickets for this performance are 9 for Library Members and 12 for non-members. All profits made go back to EJO and Libraries Unlimited, a registered charity.
