Brazilian Scandinavian Jazz Orchestra full CD

In October of 2006, eight musicians from the Danish big band The Orchestra arrived in São Paulo to play with ten musicians from the Bissamblazz Brazilian Ensemble.

Working under the provisional name The Orchestra Bissamblazz, the band rehearsed for three days and proceeded to play three concerts, two of them recorded live.

This album conveys the magic shared by these musicians as they traversed cultural boundaries on a journay into music. As the new personality of this new band required a new name, they called themselves The Brazilian Scandinavian Jazz Orchestra.
