Swiss Jazz Orchestra

With the idea of forming a Swiss big band of international renown, the "Swiss Jazz Orchestra" (SJO) was founded in September 2003 by George Robert and Stefan Geiser in Bern. Following the example of New York's "Vanguard Orchestra", the SJO has performed weekly in Bern ever since. With their roots deeply anchored in jazz, the hallmark of this extremely lively orchestra, filled with leading Swiss professional jazz musicians, is the stylistic diversity of the repertoire.
