Bajazz bigband play Snarky Puppy and Michael Davis

Big band is so much more than just Glenn Miller. This spring, Bajazz Bigband dives headfirst into a modern and electric big band landscape with music by Snarky Puppy and the American trombonist and composer Michael Davis. The result is a big band sound that both challenges and excites. Here, the precision of jazz meets the groove of funk, heavy riffs, and modern rhythms, delivered with the power and dynamics only a large ensemble can create. Michael Davis is known for his star-studded Hip Bone Big Band, established in 2016, where his original compositions brought new life to the big band format. The music is elegant, energetic, and overflowing with character, showing just how modern and exciting a big band can sound. The repertoire also includes music from Snarky Puppy, led by Michael League, one of the most influential modern jazz and fusion bands in the world. In a big band setting, the music becomes catchy, surprising, and rhythmically explosive, with synth-inspired textures, powerful grooves, and rhythms guaranteed to get the audience moving. The arrangements are by Michael Davis and Mathias Hole. The band is led by trombonist and soloist Marius Tobias Hoven, guiding Bajazz Bigband through an evening where modern jazz, funk, and fusion come together in a powerful and playful big band experience.
