TPO Big Band 踢霹歐爵士大樂團

Created in May 2020, TPO is an international group of professional musicians that brings the spirit and sound of vintage American jazz into 21st century Taipei. 

TPO was originally created as a 20-piece big band presenting music from the Early American Songbook. While the band still performs in its original state, it has also evolved and expanded into various ensembles with an even wider repertoire ranging from Latin to contemporary R&B and Pop as well as original compositions.
The band, founded and directed by Jim Geddes, was created with the hopes of evolving the relationship between music and the human experience, and - in the process - has become a continuous pursuit of betterment.
We strive for: to join together as an international-level ensemble that brings the best performance, the best sound, and the best experience.

成立於2020年5月的踢霹歐爵士大樂團是由一群致力將復古美國爵士精神帶進二十一世紀的國際專業樂手們所組成。
最初專注於演出《美國早期歌曲錄》的作品，但隨著樂團的演化和擴張，踢霹歐現在已經具備各種不同的編制，演出曲目和風格也擴大涵蓋到拉丁、當代R&B、流行樂曲，甚至原創作品。
