OUJO is Oxford’s premier student jazz ensemble and big band, showcasing a variety of exceptional swing, funk and modern big band music. With sell-out shows in exciting venues across the city, private functions including college balls, and overseas tours, OUJO is one of the most rewarding opportunities available to a musician in Oxford. This year promises collaborations and workshops with top UK jazz musicians, plans for a tour to the USA, and concerts with our rival ensembles at Cambridge, Durham and Imperial.
