Coming right up BBJO, it’s ‘Big City Jazz’ at the Farmhouse Portsmouth, playing to a packed room, on 29th June 2025, starts at 12:30. Free entry but donations appreciated.

BBJO draws from the legendary libraries of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Ted Heath, Buddy Rich, Maynard Ferguson, and Rob McConnell. Whether you’re after high-energy swing, lush ballads, or toe-tapping rhythm sections, their performances strike the perfect chord between tradition and innovation.

With a vast repertoire that includes timeless hits from the Great American Songbook, you’ll hear classics made famous by George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael, Jerome Kern, and Harold Arlen — as well as vocal tributes to the likes of Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr., and more.

Music is meant to be felt, not just heard — and The Breakout Brass Jazz Orchestra brings an emotional, thrilling energy to every stage they step on.
