Oxford University Jazz Orchestra

The Oxford University Jazz Orchestra (OUJO) is a big band based at the University of Oxford, England, and was founded in 1991. The ensemble performs a repertoire drawn from the standard jazz orchestra canon, typically featuring full saxophone, trumpet, and trombone sections alongside a rhythm section. Its public activity centres on regular term-time concerts within Oxford, often showcasing student arrangers and soloists from the university’s wider musical community. OUJO operates as a student-run society, providing a platform for instrumentalists to engage with large-ensemble jazz. The orchestra’s profile is documented on Wikipedia, which serves as its primary public reference point. No commercial recordings or external performance history are listed in the available evidence.
