25 YEARS JAZZMANIA- & 15 YEARS JAZZ FOCUS BIG BAND
O.L.V. PETER GUIDI
Director Peter Guidi’s philosophical maxim of ‘Jazz is fun, but serious fun’; has spurred both the Jazzmania Big Band and the JazzFocus Big Band to great heights. For 25 years Jazzmania has been the main platform for young jazz talent at the MSA, the Music School of Amsterdam. Jazzmania plays everywhere, from the Lowlands festival to the Concertgebouw venue. Its younger brother, JazzFocus Big Band, has been winning awards for 15 years now. Both orchestras have produced international talents.
