ABOUT
Hamburg Radio Jazz Orchestra
Unique among Germany’s radio big bands, the Hamburg Radio Jazz Orchestra (NDR Bigband) is a jazz ensemble composed of premier soloists of diverse backgrounds and influences whose collective endeavors coalesce to produce an original and striking group sound. Each musician has their own individual style, but there is one thing on which they all agree: what counts is the sound, the groove, the melody – the music. With 1400 concerts performed, more than 80 record releases, and around 25 programmes every year, each musician is required to constantly adjust to new challenges with fresh ears. NDR Bigband has toured with Al Jarreau, Randy Brecker, Omar Sosa, Maria Schneider, Bobby McFerrin, Chet Baker and many other artists not only from the world of jazz, and played concerts and festivals across Europe and the world.
This program is supported by the German Federal Foreign Office, the Hamburg Senate Chancellery, the Goethe-Institut Chicago, and Chicago Sister Cities International.
