Album DescriptionThe Rotterdam Jazz Orchestra delivers a real tour-de-force with this CD. Conductor/arranger Johan Plomp leads his orchestra through an alternating repertoire. From their own composition to less obvious interpretations of among others Charles Mingus and Cole Porter. Members of RJO are active on many fronts, such as the Metropole Orchestra, New Cool Collective and session work for artists such as Paul Weller and Trijntje Oosterhuis. The diversity of its members gives the orchestra splendid characteristic sound. 2005.
