The TSYJO Live
The Tommy Smith Youth Jazz Orchestra – with stunning concerts that bring alive the energy of jazz and pays tribute to some legendary names.
The Tommy Smith Youth Jazz Orchestra (TSYJO) provides access for talented young jazz musicians to develop and perform on a regular basis in an exceptional youth jazz orchestra. TSYJO attracts some of the best young jazz musicians in the country who effectively constitute the youth wing of the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra (SNJO).
The Tommy Smith Youth Jazz Orchestra – with stunning concerts that bring alive the energy of jazz and pays tribute to some legendary names.
The Tommy Smith Youth Jazz Orchestra is delighted to start their 20th anniversary year with two stunning concerts that bring alive the energy of jazz and pay tribute to some legendary names.
Our audition process will run until Friday, 5th November and we’re inviting all experienced improvisers who are able to sight-read, aged between 12 and 24 years to apply to join the SNJO’s youth wing.
Tommy Smith set up the TSYJO in 2002 to compete with the student paid organisations and offer a place where talented musicians could be part of a first-class big band for free; all you needed was your skill.
Smith funded the organisation himself for two years until support was successful from the Scottish Arts Council. Along the way he met great opposition from the National Youth Jazz Orchestra from Scotland and the Strathclyde Youth Jazz Orchestra but prevailed. His youth orchestra is now the best in the country.
Membership of the TSYJO is based only on the ability to play rather than to pay. We want to ensure that there is no barrier to participation, our “free for all” policy, therefore, requires no financial commitment from musicians or family. We reimburse costs such as:
We want to encourage all young music enthusiasts to come and hear great Jazz, be inspired to learn more about Jazz, play music or even consider joining the TSYJO.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you and will do our best to respond promptly.
Somebody will be in touch with you a.s.a.p. if required. But please allow a couple of days for a reply to arrive.
