Brussels Jazz Orchestra and composer/trumpeter Bert Joris have been collaborating for three decades, both on and off stage. Examples include Signs and Signatures (2010), Dangerous Liaison (2006) and Smooth Shake (2017). This concert series focuses on their shared love for creative solo work and colourful big band sounds.
Since the very beginning of BJO, Bert Joris has been invaluable. Through his presence on stage but also by providing numerous fantastic compositions and arrangements. It is always a blessed moment for BJO to be able to make music and share the stage with him.
