About

The Bruce James Orchestra has a long history of providing exceptional big band/jazz/dance band music in the Tri-Cities/Lower Mainland/Fraser Valley; we have been performing all over the Lower Mainland since 1999. We perform a variety of big band music and are adaptable to all types of audiences/performance situations. We are a band that exudes high energy in our performance, incorporates rehearsed choreography in our selections, and is an ensemble which prides itself on excellence in both music, and showmanship.

The Bruce James Orchestra comes equipped with full sound and staging, and can provides a variety of "looks" for  performances; we have costuming for a look a la military big band; "swing" era big band- complete with fedoras, swing shoes and suspenders, in addition to formal dress (tuxedos and gowns). The choice is yours :)

To verify the versatility, suitability and professionalism or our ensemble, please review the following mp3's and‚ videos of a recent performance of our group at Port Moody's Rocky Point Park this past summer:
