METROPOLE ORCHESTRA BIG BAND & GUILLERMO KLEIN

in collaboration with NPS Radio

Big band leader Guillermo Klein has a pleasing night club voice and plays simple, but effective piano This Argentinean-Spanish musician owes his reputation to his attractive compositions, that have much in common with the work of Piazzolla, Wayne Shorter and such European composers as Messiaen. He spent a relatively short time as a resident in New York but such musicians as Jeff Ballard and Miguel Zenon still love to work with him. Tonight Klein will be leading the Metropole Orkest. Tonight the Bimhuis cafe-restaurant will be serving a buffet menu instead of its usual a-la-carte menu (euro 15, from 18.30h). Reservations recommended: 020-7882158.

Celebrating jazz since 1974
