One of the Midlands best kept secrets, The Walsall Jazz Orchestra is a world-class 19 piece big band which, unlike the vast majority of big bands, plays contemporary, rather than traditional big band music. The band plays pieces written by well known composers such as Pat Metheny, Mike Gibbs and Chick Corea, as well as a number of original compositions, many by reknowned pianist Tim Amann. WJO have released three CDs which have received rave reviews in the world's music press, and are regularly invited to the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival.
