The 14-piece Moderately Optimistic Jazz Orchestra brings its rugged charms to the Vortex once more, playing you tunes with rich melodies and joyful grooves. Our set includes epic arrangements by jazz pioneers, including Coltrane, Ellington and Metheney and an original tune with rock influences – ‘Faro’ – by our drummer, Caroline Scott. Joining us to weave the magic of song into the mix will be electrifying vocalist Giulia Marelli.
