New album out now!

Jazz Pops /
Pop Swings

In 2019, the orchestra recorded its first album, Jazz Pops / Pop Swings, which was released this year due to the pandemic. 

The album perfectly showcases the live energy and talent of the young musicians of the JM Jazz World Orchestra (all under the age of 26), who come from different parts of the world. 

Featuring 10 stunning tracks, a unique collection that reinvents popular music from the last century, alongside beautiful original compositions by Bonilla. 
Along the way, you'll meet Roberta Flack, Donny Hathaway, Carole King, George Michael, Patsy Cline and Ariana Grande. JM Jazz World skillfully combines the infectious rhythms and melodies of these timeless classics with the ultimate sophistication that only a big band can provide.
