Push Forward, the new album by Holland Bigband, is full of new compositions covering a wide spectrum of jazz, latin and related styles. The big band led by trumpet player/arranger Loet van der Lee celebrates its 10th anniversary. The new CD was produced by Michel Herr (Brussels Jazz Orchestra) and has been realized with crowdfunding.
‘Forward’ is the motto of Holland Bigband, which translates in a powerful, Buddy Rich-like drive as well as a high level of ambition. Young and established talents shine in refined compositions by the band leader and band members. Renowned arrangers such as Rob Horsting, Johan Plomp and Henri Gerrits adapted the music to the traditional 19-piece big band format. This is big band music full of energy and innovation.
Afterwards DJ Welmoed at the café.
