Koko Collective
“A wealth of talent calling to mind the spirit of the hard-swinging, exuberant jazz joints of 50’s New York” – Ronnie Scott’s
“Just a little bit gorgeous and absolutely perfect” – Sam Fraser BBC
KoKo Collective brings together some of the finest jazz talent from the UK, united by their passion for music that swings. This exceptional ensemble features seasoned musicians from the festival circuit and the jazz club scene, offering audiences an immersive journey through jazz’s golden eras.
Led by the extraordinary multi-reed virtuoso Arran Kent, KoKo Collective emerged from the vibrant jazz clubs of Soho, infusing a unique energy into the timeless treasures of the Great American Songbook.
On piano, James Browne brings both brilliance and precision, particularly in the world of stride piano, honed as a founding member of The KoKo Collective and a former Royal Navy officer.
Holding down the low tones is Geoffrey Threadgold on double bass, whose gut strings, expansive sound, and swinging slap bass drive the groove like a runaway train. The band’s latest lineup introduces drummer Andrew ‘Woody’ Wood, marking the beginning of their new touring project, ‘Sounds of the 30’s & beyond’.
This dynamic show is a lively exploration of jazz history, showcasing styles from early jazz and swing to bebop, Latin jazz, hard bop, and modern jazz. With a mix of engaging storytelling, playful humour, and an irresistible swing, an evening with the KoKo Collective guarantees an exhilarating experience.
“Arran Kent (KoKo Collective), is one of the best horn players in the UK I have had the pleasure of working with. When he plays you can feel his soul, he is just incredible and moves you emotionally” – Aydenne Simone
