Koko Collective brings together some of the finest jazz talent from the UK, united by their passion for music that swings. This exceptional ensemble features seasoned musicians from the festival circuit and the jazz club scene, offering audiences an immersive journey through jazz's golden eras. The band emerged from the vibrant jazz clubs of Soho, infusing a unique energy into the timeless treasures of the Great American Songbook. Led by the remarkable multi-reed artist Arran Kent, the group promises an unforgettable performance every time.
The band’s latest lineup introduces drummer Andrew ‘Woody’ Wood, as the band goes on a whistle stop tour of jazz history, showcasing styles from early jazz and swing to bebop, Latin jazz, hard bop, and modern jazz. With a mix of engaging storytelling, playful humor, and an irresistible swing feel, Koko Collective guarantees an exhilarating and entertaining night out!
