The King Georg Bigband presents new music monthly by the arranger and longtime chief conductor of the big bands of hr and NDR. Original compositions and arrangements of standards are regularly premiered by this all-star ensemble of German big band jazz.

The sound combines the energy of a big band with the flexibility of a combo – the sharpness of hot arrangements with velvety smoothness. The swinging rhythm section gives the outstanding soloists room to develop, while the ensemble sound remains precise and lively.
