about

Scores available from the merch page: seangibbs.bandcamp.com/merch



The debut album of the Birmingham Jazz Orchestra features compositions by director Sean Gibbs inspired by the poetry of Robert Burns. The music aims to capture the warmth, drama and humanity present in Burns' work, connecting with listeners as the poems do - through compelling narrative and exciting twists and turns.



Herald Scotland - ”Burns is an undertaking of astonishing maturity”

The Jazz Breakfast - “There are so many things to like here including that energy and good humour, that ebullience, that is the hallmark of the young Birmingham jazz scene; the way Sean has encouraged stretching performances not only from his fellow BC recent grads but also from more seasoned players like Lluis Mather; and the terrific music that Sean has written which changes within each piece to give bespoke settings for each solo and considerable satisfaction to all the section players.”

All About Jazz - “Burns is a worthy celebration of Burns’ work and a superb debut for Gibbs and the Birmingham Jazz Orchestra”

London Jazz News - “All killer, no filler, packed with vibrancy and passion, and bursting with slick soloists and a superbly well-drilled team of players”

Jazzwise - “A very welcome debut for both orchestra and their arranger of choice, the writing multi-layered and richly textured”
