Event information
Jazz Colossus is a 20-piece big band, founded in 2015 by composer and bandleader Miles Hancock. They play a wide selection of styles including swing, latin, funk and contemporary jazz. The band consists of the finest professional players alongside a fantastic array of featured instrumentalists and guest singers, the latest being multi-award-winning jazz vocalist Liane Carroll. In addition to performing published music, the band also perform a variety of custom arrangements and unique pieces created especially for the band. In their latest project \'Made In Northampton\', the band created an entire set of arrangements of songs written by unsigned bands and artists from the local Northampton area, culminating in a concert featuring all these local guest artists. A recording from the concert can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NrOjTI-gAk
