On the evening of Thursday August 8, 2024, the ARC Stockton Arts
Centre played host to a sublime jazz performance by Jeremy McMurray and the
Pocket Jazz Orchestra. The ensemble delivered a rich tapestry of jazz classics
alongside special guest singer Mo Scott.
The setlist was a mix of a carefully curated blend of timeless jazz standards and requests from the audience. The group's rendition of God Bless the Child* showcased their ability to breathe new life into well-worn classics, while their take on Don't Explain demonstrated their mastery of subtle, emotional performances. The hauntingly beautiful I Wish I Knew and the poignant You Don't Know What Love Is further highlighted the group's versatility and depth.

Jeremy McMurray's leadership was evident
throughout, guiding the Pocket Jazz Orchestra through each piece with finesse
and allowing each musician his moment to shine. The intimate setting of the ARC
Stockton Arts Centre provided the perfect backdrop for this memorable night of
jazz.
Jeremy was delighted with the evening stating: ‘It was a fabulous night
of live jazz with ourselves and special guest Mo Scott, the Queen of
Newcastle’s jazz and blues scene for years, didn’t disappoint.’ Simon Shaw
