Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw - Scribblin'

An energetic and groovy live big band album from the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw, conducted by Henk Meutgeert. The orchestra is one of the leading jazz big bands in the Netherlands and consists of 18 of the finest Dutch jazz musicians. 'Scribblin' features 9 original songs composed by trumpet player Jan van Duikeren.

With its combination of explosive excitement and pensive romanticism, Scribblin' will give as much joy to lovers of traditional big band jazz as to forward-looking young listeners. This CD leaves you in no doubt: big bands have definitely come back. - Bert Vuijsje (jazz journalist and author)
