An afternoon with Count Basie

Rander Bigband attends Ridehuset Swings with the highest caliber of swing as they host an afternoon of Count Basie. Led by Finn Odderskov, the band will perform the legendary album The Atomic Mr. Baise and complete with the concert with a select favorites from Basie's backlist.

Randers Bigband was formed in 1980 by Palle Hundborg. Since then, the big band has undergone tremendous musical developments under the musical direction of Ole Koch Sørensen, Jesper Riis, Nikolai Bøgelund, and Peter Brem. Since 2021, trombonist and conductor Nikolaj Bøgelund is back at the helm of the big band.

Randers Bigband works with multiple genres and soloists. Today, they are counted among the nation's best-performing big bands, particularly in traditional swing music.

Over the years, Randers Bigband has performed at home and abroad, including at festivals in Sweden, Finland, United States, and Brazil. They have also held workshops and played at lunch jazz events, birthdays, and company parties.

Randers Bigband is supported by Randers Municipality's Culture and Leisure Committee.

Koncerten kan opleves til Ridehuset Swinger, der igen i år danner rammerne for store musikalske oplevelser og god stemning. Ridehuset Swinger arrangeres af Aarhus Jazz Orchestra.
