College Big Band
The
Imperial College Big Band returns to Jazz Café POSK with an electrifying set
full of swing, Latin, and funk. Blending classic big band sounds with fresh
arrangements, the band brings lively ensemble playing and great solo features
for a night of top-quality jazz!
The
renowned IC Big Band stands as the pre-eminent jazz ensemble of Imperial
College London. Featuring a diverse group of scientists, engineers, and medics,
ICBB showcases the depth of talent within the community, delivering a
dynamic repertoire spanning from classic swing to contemporary funk and fusion.
The ensemble is directed under the helm of Chris Dean, the current director of
the esteemed Syd Lawrence Orchestra, and a seasoned musician in his own right,
having recorded with music icons like Frank Sinatra and Quincy Jones!
In recent
years, the IC Big Band has performed successful concerts at some of the UK’s
top jazz venues, including the Pizza Express Jazz Club (Soho), Jazz Café POSK
and the Bull’s Head (Barnes). Their music has also taken them abroad, with
memorable performances in Berlin, Madrid, and other international stages.
