In October 2006, eight musicians from the Danish big band The Orchestra arrived in Sao Paulo to play with ten musicians from the Bissamblazz Brazilian Ensemble.
The new band, under the artistical leadership by Lars Moller and Magno Bissoli, rehearsed for three days and proceeded to play three concerts, two of them recorded live.
The compositions is mainly made by Jesper Riis, Kasper Wagner, Lars Moller and Magno Bissoli.
In July 2007 the orchestra will give concerts in Scandinavia:
Fri 13. July 20:00: Nefertiti, Goteborg.
Sat 14. July 21:00: Cosmopolite, Oslo.
Sun 15. July 21:30: Copenhagen Jazz House as a part of Copenhagen Jazz Festival.
Mon 16. July 20:30: Posten, Odense.
Tue 17. July 15:00: Musikhuset Aarhus as a part of Aarhus International Jazz Festival.
During the tour a new album will be released. The album conveys the magic shared by these musicians as they traversed cultural boundaries on a journey into music.
The initiative came originally from Magno Bissoli, who by this project fullfilled a long-term dream of gathering Danish based musicians and Brazilian musicians from his big network of excellent artist from both worlds. With help from Ib Jensen, the tour manager of the Swinging Europe - the European Youth Jazz Orchestra and Lars Thorborg from the Copenhagen Jazz House he succeded to establish this new great adventure.
The orchestra has kindly been and is supported by following contributers: Nordisk Kulturfond, Nordea Danmark-fonden, Dansk Jazzforbund, Statens Kunstfond, Kapelmesterforeningen, Dansk Musikerforbund, Kunstraadets Musikudvalg og Ben Websters Fond.
