An evening of swing, energy and orchestral jazz

The Paradox Jazz Orchestra pays tribute to one of the most influential big bands in European jazz history: the legendary Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Big Band. Led by drummer Kenny Clarke and pianist/arranger Francy Boland, this orchestra grew into a unique transatlantic formation in the 1960s.

A vibrant ode to a big band that permanently shaped jazz history

American hard bop energy melded effortlessly with the sophistication of European big band arrangements in the Clarke / Boland Big Band. The Paradox Jazz Orchestra delves into this rich repertoire and re-energises the music. Expect powerful horn sections, lyrical solos and layered arrangements that bring the characteristic Clarke/Boland sound to life; with respect for the original and with room for a contemporary interpretation.
