Musical Style: Jazz, Big Band, Swing

The 5280 Jazz Orchestra is Denver’s hottest new big band, igniting the scene with electrifying energy and top-tier musicianship! Founded by CSU alum Jack Derbique and MSU Denver grad, Tyler Treadway, this powerhouse ensemble was born from their passion for big band jazz and a desire to bring it roaring back to life.

Their setlist will bring you an exciting blend of classics from Count Basie and Thad Jones all the way up to the modern sounds of Snarky Puppy and original arrangements by their own band members. Featuring a stellar lineup of both rising Denver talents and seasoned pros, the 5280 Jazz Orchestra is here to shake up the Mile High City with bold, high-energy performances that you don’t want to miss!
