"Great joy when I learnt that the NRO would be appearing at John Dankworth and Cleo Laine's wonderful entertainment venue The Stables at Wavendon. What a night of hot and thundering big band music we enjoyed... the lights went up... Nick Ross appeared... took up the baton and off they all went into a rip roaring arrangement of Cherokee.

Nick introduced his programme in a most modest, laid back, yet informative way with the minimum of chat thus allowing the maximum of the big band charts to be played. Great!

I could not fault the band, it was brilliant. Crisp and tight section work and a fine array of soloists.

The programme covered a nice mix of Miller standards, ballads and swingaroos and including favourites from the books of Basie, Heath, Ellington, Sinatra, Shaw etc. There was also a nice tribute to Syd Lawrence. A truly wonderful concert. They are now on tour... if in your area don't miss them. Keep swinging"

"Our rather mature audience arrived elderly and left ecstatic - really uplifted by a fabulous afternoon's entertainment. So therapeutic are the band that they really should be available on the NHS. I commend them to venues everywhere."

"A wonderful, wonderful evening. There's not a lot more one can say about the Nick Ross Orchestra other than getting out to see it when it plays in your area"

"When set loose on April in Paris, I Got You Under My Skin, New York, New York and Moonlight Serenade they certainly showed us what a band should sound like. Nick Ross Orchestra please come back again!"

"This band has refreshingly a younger line-up than we've come to expect - it looks smart, well turned out and professional. They came into their own with some swinging recreations of the 1950's Basie Band scores which they tore into with visible and joyful relish. I am glad I caught this package and if you too are in the mood for a nostalgic and relaxing big band evening, primarily but not exclusively Miller, you won't be disappointed."
