Album Description

‘Smash Hits’ is a collaboration between Reinier Baas, Ben van Gelder and the Grammy-winning Metropole Orkest (conducted by Christian Elsässer). The album is a live recording of performances in Amsterdam in 2016 and Utrecht in 2017. ‘Smash Hits’ stands as an absolute highlight in Baas’ musical career. He describes the feeling of having 50 world-class musicians blow the wind in your sails as “so much fun that you almost go insane”. The arrangements are by Daniel Jamieson, Gerd-Hermann Ortler, Rob Horsting and Christian Elsässer. The ‘Smash Hits’ program was one of the headliners of the 2019 North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
