Their repertoires cover all kinds of styles – cool jazz, trad jazz, New Orleans swing from the 1920s and 30s, gypsy jazz as made famous by Django Reinhardt, Dixieland jazz and the very best jazz standards that such composers as Cole Porter, George Gershwin and Irving Berlin ever contributed to the Great American Songbook. You may well also recognise a few modern chart hits thrown in – Daft Punk, Ed Sheeran and Rihanna songs work terrifically in our Durham jazz bands' style!
