Join us for the classic sounds of the Big Band era presented by the Orlando Jazz Orchestra at Blue Bamboo Center For The Arts.
Musical director Greg Parnell is the former road manager and drummer for the Glenn Miller Orchestra. He has also performed with The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, Les Brown’s Band of Renown, Nelson Riddle Orchestra as well as many other bands. Greg takes what he has learned from performing with these groups and applies it to produce amazing musical tributes in an authentic and respectful manner. The OJO is made up of a collection of the best jazz musicians in Central Florida.
The Orlando Jazz Orchestra is the crown jewel of Blue Bamboo. The 18 piece orchestra played our first show ever, and return every year to help us celebrate our anniversary. Leader Greg Parnell puts the shows together and serves as master of ceremonies for every show. Fun and educational, Greg researches the material for every show so audiences are invited on a tour of their theme.
