"Havana" - Pros & Talents by Copenhagen Jazz Orchestra
Experience rhythmic fire and elegance as the Afro-Cuban roots of jazz and the creative soloists of Copenhagen Jazz Orchestra meet in an exciting encounter in the concert "Havana", taking place at Aarhus Jazz Festival.
In "Havana", the intensity and deep groove of the authentic Afro-Cuban music tradition meets the exuberance, drama and beautiful sounds of the big band format. Copenhagen Jazz Orchestra invited the amazing Cuban percussionist Raydel Medina and the Danish-Cuban master Rune Harder Olesen to join this special collaboration, featuring new music by Lars Møller and Jesper Riis.
With Pros & Talents, Copenhagen Jazz Orchestra presents a brand new format that combines the country's most experienced jazz musicians with some of the greatest talents of the new generation. Pros & Talents is rooted in a collaboration with the country's professional and youth jazz big bands.
