Livestream: New Regency Orchestra
Sun 15 May 2022
Over the past year, this incendiary 20-piece ensemble have torn up the big-band rulebook.
Featuring a formidable and evolving cast of jazz and Latin music talent, the New Regency Orchestra play a hard-blowing style for hard times.
The band is curated by DJ/compiler Lex Blondin, founder of Hackney's much-loved underground venue Total Refreshment Centre and now the popular Church of Sound night. Co-led by multi-percussionist Crispin Spry Robinson, the NRO will perform Afro-Cuban classics to a standing audience free to move to their blistering UK jazz energy.
