The National Youth Jazz
Orchestra on Tour in Scotland
Twenty-six young jazz musicians, most still in their teens, form the most exciting big band in Britain. Earlier this year they took to the road - bodies, baggage and instruments crammed aboard their band coach just like the classic big bands of the 30s - and toured Scotland, playing an exhausting series of one-night stands.
This is an impression of what it was like to tour with NYJO, with music from their final public concert in Edinburgh.
