Welcome

About GBH Big Band...
GBH Big Band is made up of professional musicians from the Bath, Bristol and Wiltshire regions. Over nearly a quarter of a century the band has evolved  playing both standard big band repertoire and more ambitious projects such as Ellington's Nutcracker Suite, Stravinsky's Ebony Concerto and Paul Hart's Concerto for guitar and jazz orchestra. They've performed the UK Premiere of Nils Lindberg's A Christmas Cantata with Cantamus Chamber Choir and Ellington's Sacred Concert with massed choirs and Tina May. Their legendary Christmas gigs are a highlight and have featured the amazing Georgina Jackson and British jazz aristocracy in the guise of Iain Ballamy and Jason Rebello!.
