Young people and big band music may not seem like an obvious match, but Burning Down the House sets genre boundaries and clichés ablaze. The musical language of the jazz orchestra is united with the legendary DJ Grazzhoppa on the turntables, the jaw-dropping voice of Mo Harcum and kick-ass MCs Mel Ross & Deco Comprehension. A performance that hits like a bomb and does not shy away from themes such as self-esteem, (a)social media and expensive self-censorship.
This project was created for pupils in the last years of high school.
