On September 5, 2026, Accra, Ghana's capital, will witness the official launch of the Ghana Jazz Orchestra at the +233 Jazz Bar & Grill. The orchestra, directed by saxophonist Bernard Ayisa and conducted by pianist Victor Dey Jr., is set to debut with a talented ensemble of musicians. The lineup features five saxophonists, four trumpeters, four trombonists, a clarinetist, a vocalist, a pianist, a bassist, a drummer, and a percussionist.
A preview of the orchestra took place during the International Jazz Day celebration in April. The Ghana Jazz Orchestra is a result of a fruitful collaboration between the Ghana Jazz Foundation and the Accra Jazz Academy. This unique opportunity allows young musicians to gain experience playing in a big band setting, while also providing seasoned players the chance to collaborate and refine their skills.
Currently, the Ghana Jazz Orchestra stands as the sole big band Jazz group in West Africa, creating a significant sense of pride for the nation. The group aims to present a repertoire that includes classic Jazz standards and innovative compositions by contemporary African musicians. Bernard Ayisa expressed optimism about the orchestra's launch, emphasizing the continuous pursuit of high-quality performance and musical excellence. He hopes for a well-attended launch event to celebrate the orchestra's arrival on the global stage.
