Bio

Backstory

The Invicta Jazz Orchestra has its origins in the 1990s as one of the musical groups within Kent Music School, and included a young Scott Jenkins, later to become our Musical Director, on the saxophone. Scott took over the running of the band and, in 2011, the Invicta Jazz Orchestra became an independent group. 

Under the musical directorship of Scott Jenkins the Invicta Jazz Orchestra has gone from strength to strength, attracting first class musicians and performing regularly throughout the year at notable venues including the Marlborough Jazz Festival and recent tours to France and the Netherlands. 

Our Musical Director 

The Invicta Jazz Orchestra’s director of music, Scott Jenkins, is a founding member of the band. Scott spent 3 years at Middlesex University Studying a BA in Music (Jazz) and years of teaching. He served several years with the Kent Youth Jazz Orchestra and his work with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra led him down the funk and fusion line. He plays professionally and with various groups including Never 42, the Level 42 tribute band, and performed with the world-renowned leading jive band, the Jive Aces.
