International Jazz with an ethnic twist
- Swinging Europe and European Broadcasting Union
"What the World Needs now is more swinging and less skirmishing; long live Swinging Europe and the EJO!" - Jack Bowers; allaboutjazz.com
In April 2011, 17 young, beautiful and extremely talented jazz musicians are set loose in European pastures. The Finnish composer and conductor Jere Laukkanen are in charge, while letting the young talents and their instruments fill the room and the audience with energy. The room will rock, once the first note is struck and the musicians are let loose. The stage is set, the drums are heard in a distance, stars lights up the sky and hence we could as well be in Cuba, on a beach in Africa or for that matter in completely different sonorous and rhythmic climate. One thing is for certain the 17 international musicians are ready to face their audiences. They live their dream and while during that make way for their future carriers.
