Description
The best of the Brussels Jazz Orchestra, that is what the new album- in honour of BJO's 20th anniversary - is all about. No guest soloists or vocalist on stage this time, but an intoxicating series of its very own compositions:
jazz pur sang, composed and arranged for and by the musicians of the Brussels Jazz Orchestra. Of BJO, for BJO, by BJO. That is how one could describe 'BJO's Finest-Live!' This certainly results in passionate and inspired renditions, who knows the orchestra's possibilities better than its own musicians?
