NORRBOTTEN BIG BAND
Desire As
Perhaps not to everyone’s taste. Im not sure it’s to mine. But it is really interesting and worth taking the time to listen to.
The Norrbotten Big Band is a large modern jazz ensemble based in Lulea in Northern Sweden. Active for over 20 years, the ensemble has been led by several artistic directors including composer/arranger/conductor Örjan Fahlström (1989-1996) and post-bop trumpeter Tim Hagans (1996-present). The big band often features various guest soloists from around the world, and has released a bevy of albums including a self-titled 1996 release, 1998's Future North and 2009's Grammy-nominated The Avatar Sessions: The Music of Tim Hagans featuring trumpeter Randy Brecker, saxophonist George Garzone, drummer Peter Erskine, and others.
