Big Smoke

Big Smoke is an award-winning 20-piece jazz orchestra based in London. Equally at home performing in jazz clubs and at corporate events, the band specialises in music by the great vocalists such as Frank Sinatra (as recently popularised by Robbie Williams), Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan, as well as classic and contemporary instrumental jazz, from Basie and Ellington to Pat Metheny and Kenny Wheeler.

Public gigs

Thanks to everyone for the overwhelming welcome we received for our sellout performance Museum of Garden History in Lambeth. Our next scheduled public performance (Tulse Hill Tavern on 2nd November) has unfortunately just been cancelled due to venue issues, but we are hoping to squeeze an extra one in Vauxhall soon instead - watch this space!
