DG Kollective is an 18-piece ensemble combining soaring brass, sleek saxes and a powerhouse rhythm section to deliver a bold, contemporary big band sound.
Musically versatile and effortlessly stylish, the band moves between jazz, funk, Latin and pop, with a standout focus on classic film, TV and production music. Expect iconic themes such as Mission: Impossible and The Avengers, alongside reimagined favourites like Careless Whisper and Oye Como Va - all given the full big band treatment.
Drawing inspiration from legendary screen and library music composers including Henry Mancini, Lalo Schifrin, Keith Mansfield, Syd Dale, Ronnie Hazlehurst and Laurie Johnson, the set blends nostalgia with freshness, groove with precision. Original compositions and bespoke arrangements sit comfortably alongside these classics, making every performance feel unique.
Alongside the classics and the band’s original material, expect contemporary favourites - instantly recognisable songs, reimagined with the scale, power and drama only a big band can deliver.
Polished, high-energy and undeniably cool, this is premium big band music - cinematic, immersive and perfectly suited to a stylish brunch setting.
