CAVMS Youth Jazz Orchestra – South Wales Big Band Society
March 2025
On Tuesday 4th March CYJO performed once again alongside the Gwent Music Big Band at South Wales Big Band Society. Playing to a full house, both bands entertained with a fantastic selection of Big Band Music.
Joe Phillips stood out with his solo on Henry Mancini’s “The Pink Panther” and there were solos from all sections of the band on Duke Ellington’s Cottontail and Take The A Train. Alongside standards from the Big Band repertoire, CYJO performed 2 movements from Gareth Roberts’ Monmouth Suite, Descending the Blorenge and The Skirrid.
