THE ROCKET CITY
JAZZ ORCHESTRA

a blessing
for
your ears

Originally formed in 2002 as The Band in Demand, the RCJO has earned
and maintained its reputation through a multitude of performances throughout
the area at concerts, jazz festivals, church and school festivities, dance club events, wedding
and anniversary celebrations, corporate holiday parties, and more.

RCJO has appeared at the Huntsville Botanical Garden, the Von Braun Center, Huntsville’s Concerts in the Park, Panoply Festival of the Arts, Decatur’s Concerts By The River, Birmingham’s City Stages, and the Huntsville Downtown Library.  The band has a large repertoire of tunes – including swing, jazz, blues, Latin, and pop music – to meet a client’s or organization’s requests.

The band routinely consists of 17 musicians (5 saxophones, 4 trombones, 4 trumpets, and a rhythm section that includes piano/keyboard, guitar, bass, and drums) plus anywhere from 2 to 4 vocalists. 

RCJO also offers a smaller size jazz combo alternative when requested.

There’s nothing like a live, big band to add color, style, and that something special to an event!  We’re betting the RCJO is exactly that “WOW! Factor” you’ve been searching for to make that event you are planning most memorable.
