Jazz Orchestra
SUJO is Southampton University's auditioned big band! We are a Jazz group made up of 21 talented musicians who perform regular gigs across campus and around Southampton. Our recent highlights include being live with BBC Radio Solent, playing at the Concorde Club in Eastleigh and hosting a workshop with renowned trumpeter Andy Bush!

Next Gig:
The Stage Door Tickets Sunday 4th May - https://thestagedoor.org.uk/product.php/987/sujo-winchester-jazz-collective
We run a rehearsal each week on a Tuesday evening from 6:45-9:30pm (with a break in the middle) and then at least one gig per term but are hopefully offering a wider range of opportunities this year! Repertoire is decided by committee, however we are open to suggestions, and tries to cover a variety of styles to suit everyone's taste throughout the year.
The main focus is to have an enjoyable and fun time whilst also playing charts to a high standard (and cooking like there's no tomorrow!😎). There will be a few main socials throughout the year and smaller ones more regularly to keep that band spirit alive. It is all student led and at the end of the year, anyone has the opportunity to go for an elected role on the committee.
Charts this year include Computer, A Cool Breeze, Backrow Politics and Quartermaster to name a few!
We are also fortunate enough to receive coaching workshops from talented musicians on the UK jazz scene ranging from bringing out stylistic nuances to phrasing when improvising.
