[trans_artistinfo_about]
The student bands honor the big band tradition. We always welcome the best of these student orchestras to our festival; their quality is really high, as is their dedication. They play with so much enthusiasm. Many jazz artists started their careers in student big bands (for instance: Roy Hargrove and Wynton Marsalis). The Codarts Big Band, consisting of jazz students from the Rotterdam Conservatory, has an outstanding reputation when it comes to live performances. The Codarts Big Band plays a varied repertoire: from modern and Cuban and Latin jazz to Brazilian and Flamenco jazz. The Big Band will be accompanied by three special guest-soloists: Eric Vaarzon Morel (flamenco guitar), Luis Fernandez Heredia (flamenco dance) and Brian Lynch (trumpet). The orchestra is conducted by Ilja Reijngoud, who teaches the trombone at the Rotterdam Conservatory.
