Koko Collective brings together some of the finest jazz talent from the UK, united by their passion for music that swings. This exceptional ensemble features seasoned musicians from the festival circuit and the jazz club scene, offering audiences an immersive journey through jazz's golden eras.

Led by the remarkable multi-reed artist Arran Kent, the group promises an unforgettable performance every time.
The band’s latest lineup introduces drummer Andrew ‘Woody’ Wood, as the band goes on a whistle stop tour of jazz history, showcasing styles from early jazz and swing to bebop, Latin jazz, hard bop, and modern jazz.
