Sunday Night Jazz Showcase
Program #96 (November 15 at 8:00PM)
The Dutch Jazz Orchestra is focused on special projects within the realm of jazz. They are specialized in performing and recording obscure, and often unknown, works by the unsung heroes of jazz.
The Dutch Jazz Orchestra has performed a list of rarely performed works of composers, as Mary Lou Williams, George Handy, Gil Evans, Gerry Mulligan, Claude Thornhill, The Boyd Raeburn Orchestra, Duke Ellington and now Billy Strayhorn.
In 1995, The Dutch Jazz Orchestra, lead by Jerry van Rooijen, started a new project and they released the CD “Portrait Of A Silk Threat” on which they presented unknown and never earlier recorded work of Billy Strayhorn.
This resulted in three cd’s, “So This Is Love”, “You Go To My Head” and “Something To Live For.”
