Denmark Street Big Band - Jazz at the Movies

Event information

“A sold-out crowd applauded wildly for each tune and soaked up the infectious feel-good vibe.” - London Jazz Review

Hollywood’s golden age gets a bold, brassy makeover as the Denmark Street Big Band brings Jazz at the Movies to Boisdale of Canary Wharf. This is film music, but not as you know it, think the glamour of vintage cinema laced with the swagger of a top-flight swing orchestra.

Expect bold brass takes on everything from “Moon River” and “Diamonds Are Forever” to “Let’s Face the Music and Dance”, “The Pink Panther” and that unmistakable 20th Century Fox fanfare, all delivered with big band precision and a stylish nod to Basie, Sinatra and Bobby Darin. This is a finely tuned jazz production that lets the music do the storytelling.

At the helm is the Denmark Street Big Band - a crack team of London’s finest session players, known for their sell-out shows across the capital and praised for reviving the great American songbook with cinematic flair. They’ve backed artists at the Royal Albert Hall, Ronnie Scott’s and even graced the BBC Proms, bringing heavyweight credentials to every performance.

Joining them for this Boisdale edition is the velvet-voiced Viviana Zarbo - a rising name on the UK jazz scene whose voice shimmers with elegance and vintage charm. A graduate of London’s American Musical Theatre Academy, Viviana’s performances blend Broadway polish with jazz club soul. Expect sultry storytelling, effortless phrasing, and that rare ability to transport an audience from Harlem’s Cotton Club to a Hollywood backlot in the space of a single verse.

Whether you’re a film buff, a jazz fan or just in the mood for a night of glamour and groove, Jazz at the Movies is a first-class ticket to the golden age with swing in every scene.
