We
are
Out Of The Blue Jazz Orchestra an enthusiastic
Big Band based in Birmingham, UK.
Under the musical directorship of Jo James, we play a
repertoire drawn from the classic swing and Big Band
arrangements of the Basie and Ellington era as well as more
popular music. The band (previously known as the Blue Max
Big Band) was originally formed in the early nineties by
members of a jazz workshop run by Andy Hamilton.
