Tom Niblock Big Band

Award winning composer Tom Niblock presents the first outing of his new big band project featuring many young stars of the London Jazz scene. Having won the Dankworth Prize in 2021 and the Eddie Harvey Arranger Award in 2020, the band will perform his exciting original music alongside inventive arrangements. Influenced by his compositional heroes such as Jim McNeely, John Hollenbeck, Maria Schneider and Slide Hampton, Tom’s music also draws on 20th century classical approaches in its rich harmony, structure and attention to detail. Expect to hear incredible improvising too from this stellar line-up of musicians chosen for their unique musical personalities as they come together for the first time.
