The Music of Bert Joris. The Next Chapter. - Brussels Jazz Orchestra & Bert Joris

Brussels Jazz Orchestra and Bert Joris have been inseparable for three decades. What started as a shared passion grew into an intense bond of trust. The album The Music of Bert Joris (2001) is a worldwide reference point in the big band world. For his 70th birthday in 2027, the master trumpeter treats himself to a new collaboration with the orchestra. In this 'next chapter', his unique talent as a composer and arranger merges again with the recognizable, dynamic BJO sound. Expect jazz of the highest level, rooted in tradition but always with a fresh, idiosyncratic view of the future. “It is an orchestra that leaves me very free in writing because they can handle everything. They have not only the necessary talent, but also the willingness to fully support the music as an ensemble.” – Bert Joris Compositions, arrangements & trumpet Bert Joris Uitvoering Brussels Jazz Orchestra Foto Michel De Pourq.
