Broadway-inspired work by the DIVA Jazz Orchestra and their special guests puts a swing twist on classics that audiences have sung for decades.

DIVA Jazz Orchestra: a unique version of the classics

Perhaps some audiences will remember The DIVA Jazz Orchestra’s Christmas album 2021. This release was another example of the band putting their groovy, soulful, or swinging spin on classic songs. Audiences looking for something new for their jazz collection, or those who are completely new to jazz, should definitely check out this stellar release from The DIVA Jazz Orchestra.

Songs that receive the DIVA Jazz treatment include “Pure Imagination,” “The Sound of Music,” “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” and “Seventy-Six Trombones,” among others. The song titles alone evoke popular refrains, and in The DIVA Jazz Orchestra styles, they become even more memorable, if that’s possible.

DIVA Jazz Orchestra stands out as a performance group because of the energy and sheer talent that the group contains.
