METROPOLE ORCHESTRA BIG BAND MEETS BOB BROOKMEYER
In collaboration with NPS Radio
The Metropole Orchestra accommodates a great jazz big band. For radio programme NPS ‘4FM Jazz’ (broadcasted, this season, every Monday night from midnight until 1 a.m.) the orchestra has collaborated with (inter)national top soloists and arrangers for many years. At the Bimhuis they performed with Bill Holman, John Clayton, Jim McNeely and Maria Schneider. This time they invited ‘old master’ Bob Brookmeyer who is an expert on enriching big band jazz with impressionistic orchestrations in a magnificent display of colour.
