About

When “Jazzparaden” is performed live, the musicians in Bohuslän Big Band enter a school playground or in a concert venue and surprise the audience. Through swinging New Orleans music, the audience gets to learn about the different instruments in a brass band. The repertoire can accommodate everything from melody festival songs, children's songs to well-known jazz classics and with a full-fledged brass band they perform in a completely different way than one is accustomed to. Now Bohuslän Big Band releases the record “Jazzparaden Vol.1” on Prophone Records / Naxos record label on 9 May 2020. The record contains a selection of these popular songs in arrangements written by the musicians of the Bohuslän Big Band.

“Jazzparaden” is one of Bohuslän Big Band's productions that was started in 2013 and is aimed toward children and youth. Since 2013, “Jazzparaden” has been played at schools around the region Västra Götaland as well as at national and international festivals and is appreciated by many people of all ages.

“Jazzparaden Vol.1” is released on 9 May, on the same day as Brass Wind Music’s Day (Blåsmusikensdag) in Sweden. Brass Wind Music’s Day is organized by the Network for Professional Wind Music in Sweden (Nätverket för professionell blåsmusik i Sverige) with the aim of drawing attention to the wind music in Sweden. Performers at various levels and contexts organize concerts and events across the country. In 2020, the concerts during the day of wind music are cancelled due to the situation with Covid-19 - but the day is now being highlighted instead by digital initiatives.

Bohuslän Big Band is a contemporary jazz orchestra that both preserves and challenges the big band genre. Fearless and exploratory, we enter into collaborations with breadth and great variety, for an audience consisting of both large and small. Since 2004, Bohuslän Big Band has been a part of Vara Concert Hall.
