THE OXFORDSHIRE YOUTH JAZZ COLLECTIVE
The Oxfordshire Youth Jazz Collective is our advanced level county big band and one of four ensembles that makes up the Oxfordshire Youth Big Band programme which has now been running for more than 50 years.
Weekly rehearsals take place during term time preparing the band for a varied array of performance opportunities throughout the year. These include regular end-of-term concerts alongside our other big bands as well as collaborations with music theatre students, regional festivals, Music for Youth and County Gala performances.
The band enjoys playing a wide variety of big band styles ranging from 1930’s swing classics and standard big band repertoire from band leaders and writers such as Basie, Ellington, Buddy Rich, Ted Heath and Benny Goodman to contemporary arrangements of popular music and original works by contemporary composers such as Fred Sturm, Nikki Iles and Steve Waterman.
OYJC are especially excited to be performing at this year’s ‘Jazz at the Fleur’ in East Hagbourne and have been working hard on a fabulous programme for the occasion.
Direct from London’s world-famous jazz club and combining world class live jazz alongside rare archive photos and video footage, THE RONNIE SCOTT'S ALL STARS, take you on a guided, musical tour of this music institution. Set amongst the dive bars and jazz jook joints of London’s Soho, we hear about the desperate hand-to-mouth finances of the early years and the frequent police raids. We hear how Ronnie’s became neutral ground within rife gang territory and their scrapes with gangsters including the Krays who were rumoured to have taken Ronnie and Pete “for a little drive”! Life at Ronnie’s is evocatively re-imagined through tales of the club’s past visitors, from pop stars, film stars and politicians to comedians and royalty, but above all, the musicians.
Featuring classic music from the jazz greats who have performed at Ronnie Scott’s, alongside projected images and footage, and tales of old Soho, miscreant musicians and police raids, ‘The Ronnie Scott’s Story is a glimpse into this unique world and its incredible history.
Hosted and performed by the award-winning Ronnie Scott’s All Stars, led by the Club’s Musical Director, this is a unique evening celebrating the music and history of Ronnie Scott’s and is a must for any music fan.

Singer/keyboardist/songwriter CHARLIE WOOD is a seasoned veteran of the blues scene in his native Memphis, Tennessee. After touring the world with legendary blues guitarist Albert King, Wood settled into a 15+ year residency on Memphis’ legendary Beale Street. The gig attracted regular sit-ins from the likes of BB King, Georgie Fame, Isaac Hayes and others, and earned Charlie the honour of a Brass Note on Beale, the Memphis music equivalent of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Charlie’s own songs and recordings incorporate elements of jazz, traditional R&B & popular music, but the blues remains a common thread throughout. Now living in the UK with his wife, celebrated vocalist Jacqui Dankworth, Wood’s live shows have included several sold-out nights at Ronnie Scott’s, the London Jazz Festival's "Jazz Voice" at the Royal Festival Hall, BBC Radio 2's "Friday Night Is Music Night”, Radio 2’s “Jools Holland Show” and many others.
