City Winery & Nashville Jazz Orchestra

The Nashville Jazz Orchestra preserves, advances, and promotes big band jazz appreciation to our children and our communities through live performances, workshops, and quality recordings.

“The Nashville Jazz Orchestra celebrates a vital but often overlooked part of the improvisational strain, the large group tradition. Jim Williamson and his comrades are a first-rate unit comfortable navigating not only familiar show tunes and pre-rock canon, but the more ambitious hard bop, blues and outside/avant garde compositions from the music’s more edgy wing.” – The Nashville Scene
