A Tribute To The Kenny Clarke - Francy Boland Big Band
For years, the ensemble around American drummer Kenny Clarke and Belgian pianist and arranger Francy Boland was considered an independent and distinctive voice of jazz in Europe and beyond. More than 240 arrangements of handwritten original scores by the band have been in the possession of the BuJazzO since 2018. In 2019, a first musical focus was dedicated to this treasure. In 2023, a further selection from this invaluable fund will be heard.Replica Rolex Milgauss watches

Music Of Future
The results of the 4th BuJazzO composition competition will be performed under the direction of Niels Klein. Young composers and arrangers up to the age of 30 were invited to submit works for jazz orchestra and/or vocal ensemble. Both their own compositions and arrangements of pieces by others were permitted. Different facets and styles of contemporary jazz can be heard in this programme.
