Jörg Achim Keller King Georg 12

The arranger and longtime chief conductor of the big bands of hr and NDR regularly writes new music for the monthly concert series, which is always premiered on the third Wednesday of each month by this all-star ensemble of German big band jazz. Original compositions and arrangements of standards that leave room for the ensemble's outstanding soloists, in which the swinging rhythm section can unfold freely and in whose ensemble sound the energy of a big band combines with the flexibility of a combo, the sharpness of the hottest bands with the velvety smoothness of the coolest. – "Dreamband!" – "A new sound is born!"
