The legendary London Jazz Composers Orchestra has been at the forefront of improvised music for 55 years. The group features top European musicians from both the jazz and classical field. Highly acclaimed in North America and Europe, the pioneering orchestra is a Who’s Who of virtuoso improvising musicians, exploring the relationship and tension between composed and improvised music and between new music and jazz. Director Barry Guy’s compositions provide a structure for the musicians’ explosive solo and collective improvisations.
