It might be unexpected but the Brussels Jazz Orchestra (BJO) is not the kind of jazz orchestra that sticks to standards. We prefer to achieve the highest level by composing original music, creating unique arrangements and playing inventively as well as passionately. In fact, it really is jazz with a dynamic orchestral sound, with a classic strength in which each musician is also a brilliant soloist. Call it an ‘orchestrated passion for jazz’ that incites BJO to create world-class music. Brussels Jazz Orchestra was founded in 1993 and works under the artistic direction of Frank Vaganée. The orchestra has enjoyed the recognition and support of the Flemish government since 1999. The Brussels Jazz Orchestra makes jazz ensemble music of the highest quality, with full artistic integrity, in all its diversity and for the broadest of (inter)national audiences.
