Presentation
Belgian Italian Jazz Orchestra Plays the Italian Golden Era
For over 11 years, the Belgian Italian Jazz Orchestra has been the only Italian big band based in Brussels. Closely connected to the Belgian Italian Jazz Festival, the orchestra is part of a wider artistic project created to promote Italian jazz, musicians and musical heritage in Belgium.
Led by saxophonist, conductor and arranger Angelo Gregorio, founder and artistic director of the Belgian Italian Jazz Festival, the orchestra revisits the unforgettable sound of Italy’s golden musical era through original jazz arrangements.
Iconic Italian melodies meet the colours of a full jazz orchestra, strings, rhythm section and voices, creating a journey through Italian song, cinema and jazz.
A rare opportunity to experience such a large ensemble in the intimate atmosphere of the Music Village — a small club with a great jazz soul, where the audience can feel the energy of the orchestra from just a few metres away.
A unique evening of Italian music and jazz, not to be missed.
