Info for United

For their 2nd album, “United”, while searching for a creative way to combine both modern- and traditional jazz music, Dutch Jazz Collective (DJC) invited trombonist Ilja Reijngoud and tenor saxophonist Paul Heller, who both composed and arranged the charts for this album. It turns out to be a match made in heaven. It proves once more how effortlessly DJC combines both the modern and traditional styles of big band music. Unity is an essential part of making music - and society as a whole. In times like this it seems to be more relevant than ever.

Dutch Jazz Collective

Dutch Jazz Collective
Get ready if you’re a fan of big band jazz, horns galore and infectious grooves! Dutch Jazz Collective is a Rotterdam big band, founded by Bart van der List and Sander Smeets and containing up-and-coming young talents from the Dutch jazz scene. Their music has its roots in the jazz tradition, but looks towards the present and the future. Most important: the joy of playing! Last year, the band recorded their debut album Generations, which will be released a day before the festival and puts three generations of Rotterdam musicians in the spotlights: saxophonist Ab Schaap, trumpeter Jan van Duikeren, and saxophonist Benjamin Herman. The latter two will join Dutch Jazz Collective on stage in Ahoy. They are both brilliant and versatile musicians: Herman is the founder of New Cool Collective and will be performing at the festival with several of his projects. Van Duikeren is a much sought-after soloist and session player who plays in his own bands as well as accompanying other artists with Special Request Horns, which he co-founded.

This album contains no booklet.
