It might be unexpected but the Brussels Jazz Orchestra (BJO) is not the kind of jazz orchestra that sticks to standards. We prefer to achieve the highest level by composing original music, creating unique arrangements and playing inventively as well as passionately. In fact, it really is jazz with a dynamic orchestral sound, with a classic strength in which each musician is also a brilliant soloist.
The podcasts series 'A Closer Talk' starts where the BJO documentary 'Bring it to the People' ended. In these informal interview series, we invite captivating personalities with a love for music and a connection to Brussels Jazz Orchestra. A Closer Talk about music, life and everything else around it.
