Foxtrot: Shostakovich’s Jazz Suite No.1, arranged by Paul Campbell performed by mass orchestra (featuring over 200 young musicians) at Benedetti Foundation’s London Sessions with Wynton Marsalis

Following an inspiring weekend at the Southbank Centre for the Benedetti Foundation’s London Sessions, the mass orchestra (featuring over 200 young musicians) performed a new arrangement by Paul Campbell of Shostakovich’s Jazz Suite No.1, including an improvised solo from Wynton Marsalis! This performance was the culmination of the weekend’s work.

Led by violinist Nicola Benedetti, the London Sessions bring together young musicians and teachers for high-energy, high-inspiration workshops that explore everything from storytelling and improvisation to sound production and musical expression. This year’s guests included jazz trumpeter and composer Wynton Marsalis, and saxophonist and presenter Jess Gillam.
