Frank Bastrup Olsen (cond), and others
Big band initiative by music students still going strong. Keep the Change Big Band was formed in 1984 by music students in Aarhus. Today, many current and former students play in the band, some of which have been with them for years, and a few since the very beginning. Frank Bastrup Olsen conducts the big band until 1st July 2017. He is a trained rhythmical trombonist from the Royal Academy of Music Aalborg with specialisation in big band conducting. Over the last 10 years, he has played in many different bands in the genres of funk, blues, rock, pop, neo-swing, and jazz. However, the last few years have mainly been dedicated to jazz and big band music. Previous conductors include Simon Nielsen, Marion Barker, Henrik Gørup Rasmussen, and Lisbeth Iversen, with some American big band leaders and arrangers as guests in between. The permanent lineup of Keep the Change Big Band consists of five saxophones, four trumpets, five trombonists, and a rhythm section consisting of piano, guitar, bass, and drums. Keep the Change has had a good deal of guest soloists throughout the years, and former band members include Sascha Dupont and Lars Vissing.
