Press Release
The Studio 9 Orchestra is a 19-piece ensemble, comprising of some of the leading jazz musicians from the South East, including Terry Pack (Bass), Paul Nieman (Trombone), Alex Eberhad (drums) and Dave Beebee (Bass and Keys). Our repertoire is eclectic, playing swing, ballads, funk and latin pieces, and we pride ourselves on featuring work from a mixture of established contemporary jazz composers and arrangers, such as Maria Schneider, Dave Holland or Kenny Wheeler, as well as premiering new works from local composers and members of the band.
The band has developed a large following, playing at many venues in Brighton and the South East - including the Love Supreme festival three years running - and with distinguished guests such as Claire Martin, Mark Bassey and others.
Our performances are high-energy, each a roller-coaster ride of big band music, interspersed with solos from some of the best improvisers in the area. Our sets are always full of humour and surprises, and aim to challenge some of the preconceptions about big band music.
