Sean Nelson Jazz Orchestra
The Sean Nelson Jazz Orchestra, described by Jazz Weekly as a “full-bodied and polished brassy big band,” is made up of 17 of the finest musicians in New England. This extraordinary ensemble will be featured in the 2026 Branford Jazz Series lineup on August 6, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. behind the Branford Town Green.
Formed in 2016 as the New London Big Band, the group has spent the past nine years performing monthly to sold-out crowds at Social Bar + Kitchen. Their performances have taken them across the country, including appearances at the Kennedy Center, Birdland Jazz Club, Monk’s Jazz Club, and Hallowed Halls.
