Thoroughly enjoyed the @SNJO2 youth orchestra's Big Band Jazz In The Afternoon gig at the Tollbooth in Stirling directed by Sean Gibbs whose Robert Burns-inspired tunes were excellent. Next up for the band: Eastgate Theatre in Peebles followed by St Brides Centre in Edinburgh.

Great start to the @SNJO2's trio of Duke Ellington gigs in Glasgow tonight with excellent support by @TommySmithMusic's Youth Jazz Orchestra whose diversity, gender balance and above all talent is a breath of fresh air. The "sophisticated lady" Lucy-Anne Daniels in fine voice.

The first half of @SNJO2 and @RSNO's infectious fusion of classical and jazz was, in the words of Gerry Cinnamon, a belter.
As was @TommySmithMusic's arrangement of Rhapsody In Blue which kept both audience and musicians on the nails of their own toes!
