The JUBILEE JAZZ ORQUESTRA was born in November 2000 as a result of the reappearance of the Jubilee Jazz Club at the Institute of North American Studies in Barcelona.

Since its inception, the orchestra has performed in local Jazz Festivals all around Catalonia, such as Sitges, Sant Boi, Tarragona, Arenys de Mar, Tortosa, Calafell. He has presented his recordings in "L'Espai", and has even played in TV programs.

His recording works can be find as part of the Fresh Sound Records subsidiary label Swing Alley, focused on Mainstream Jazz projects. "Swing's the Thing" from 2002 was followed by in 2006 by "This Can't Be Love" who payed tribute to the Nat King Cole hits and other all-time favorite.

The natural challenge of the Jubilee Jazz Orchestra is playing a fresh and direct music, with the intention of quickly reaching the audience and even making them dance (or at least move their feet). The orchestra is made up of eleven musicians distributed as follows: Two trumpets, two trombones, three tenor saxophones, piano, guitar, double bass, and drums.

The unusualness of this formation, the original swinging arrangements and the chosen repertoire, give the orchestra a very peculiar old school big band sound, which may be remembered by some of the groups that emerged from the Count Basie orchestra and other bands from the Swing era, that together define an absolutely personal line.
