Jazz in Rock and Metal: from rock riffs to jazz sound

The program was based on the music of bands whose songs are recognizable by the first chords. Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Rammstein, KoЯn, Guano Apes — each of them has its own character and musical language. In the performance of the Dnipro Big Band, this material receives a different interpretation: orchestral colors, the sound of brass instruments and jazz harmony come to the fore.

Jazz in Rock and Metal is built on the meeting of different musical approaches. The tension of metal riffs and the expressiveness of rock melodies are combined with the rich sound of a big band. This is a concert for those who are interested in hearing familiar music outside the original recordings and observing how its character changes in orchestral performance.

Dnipro Big Band: thematic programs and jazz repertoire

The Dnipro Big Band jazz orchestra of the Dnipropetrovsk Philharmonic was created in 2000. The group builds its concerts as thematic programs: they consist of original arrangements and compositions or are dedicated to outstanding jazz performers and composers.

Among the figures whose work the orchestra draws on are Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Ted Jones, Charles Mingus, Jaco Pastorius, Bob Brookmeyer, Kenny Wheeler and Buddy Rich. The big band's repertoire includes jazz classics: works by Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Sammy Nestico, John Coltrane, Antonio Carlos Jobim and George Gershwin, as well as compositions from the repertoire of Buddy Rich and Charles Mingus.

Dnipro Big Band also collaborates with contemporary jazz musicians, including Carlo Muscat from Malta, Dmytro "Bobin" Alexandrov, Dennis Adu, Ilya Yeresko, Pavlo Pigura, Daryna Gavryk, Mari Zhiginas, Andriy Arnautov, and Oleksiy Petukhov.
