Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw and the Latvian Radio Big Band

What does Dutch and Lativian jazz have in common? What makes them different? What is the key to the unique or unifying aspects of both? We might find the answers in the concert programme that brings together two world-class collectives – the Concertgebouw Jazz Orchestra and the Latvian Radio Big Band that will be complemented by the unmatched voices of Intars Busulis and Kristīne Prauliņa. The home side opens the match with the Latvian Jazz Suite featuring pieces written or arranged by musicians of the Latvian Radio Big Band, while the visitors, coming from their home of 20 years – the legendary Concertgebouw concert hall, strike back with compositions from their latest record Crossroads.
