The Genuine Jazz Orchestra is a 17-piece Jazz Big Band, committed to bringing a new energy and passion to the music of Count Basie, Quincy Jones, Gil Evans, and other Big Band legends.

The band's personnel comprises a heady cocktail of nationally-renowned jazz soloists, along with rising stars of the Dublin jazz scene.
Featuring guest vocalist Charlie Moon, the Genuine Jazz Orchestra represents an exciting new addition to the vanguard of Irish jazz.The Venue at Walters is situated upstairs in the historic setting of Walters Pub which has been in the heart of Dun Laoghaire since 1904. Walters Pub is host to live music downstairs every Thursday - Sunday but upstairs has been transformed into an exclusive event and concert space which is now home to Rendezvous Jazz Club.
The stage at Rendezvous Jazz Club becomes a canvas where jazz legends and rising stars alike paint a soundscape of elegant improvisations, timeless classics, and original compositions. Every performance is a celebration of music's power to move, to captivate, and to make you feel alive. Feel the pulse of the music reverberate through the club, enveloping you in a magnetic atmosphere of pure bliss.
