Two of Belgium’s most renowned newspapers have just declared how bigbands are more alive now than ever. Both of them mention BJO, an ensemble that definitely doesn’t stick to standards. They compose original music and create unique arrangements. The result: jazz with a dynamic orchestral sound.
You’ll find out yourself on Friday 29 & Saturday 30 May, when BJO will perform at the Grand Place themselves. But it doesn’t end there. The complete line-up, carefully curated by Brussels Jazz Orchestra, looks like this:
FRIDAY MAY 29th
Matthias Van den Brande: Opus#1
Bert Joris trio & Kurt Van Herck
Brussels Jazz Orchestra - We Have a Dream (featuring Tutu Puoane)
SATURDAY MAY 30th
Nathalie Loriers, Tineke Postma, Sam Gerstmans
Hendrik Lasure - Warm Bad
Tripod XL
Brussels Jazz Orchestra - We Orchestrate Words (featuring Zediam, Mo & Grazz)
