THE MILLENNIUM JAZZ ORCHESTRA & FAY CLAASSEN ‘SPECIALLY ARRANGED FOR FAY’

The Millennium Jazz Orchestra is one of the best big bands in the country. Before the intermission, leader Joan Reinders and other members of the orchestra will play many of their own compositions, rooted in tradition. Reinders arranged nine pieces for vocalist Fay Claassen, resulting in a CD recording. Fay is a unique vocalist who brings every song alive but also possesses an incredible talent for improvisation. This can be heard in de second part of the concert.
