The fire and charm of flamenco are enriched by unprecedented colors with the wonderful orchestral arrangements for Big Band by Bernard Van Rossum, saxophonist, composer and arranger of Spanish and Dutch origins, leader and conductor of the superb BVR Big Band. His two albums, “Jaleo Holandés” (2015) and “Luz de Luna” (2017), praised by the critics, bring the fusion between jazz and flamenco to sidereal heights, and serve as the basis for an astonishing live show, which will surprise nobody considering the career of David de Jacoba, an exceptional singer, member of the latest band of the great Paco de Lucía, and of Bernard Van Rossum himself, a magnificent jazz saxophonist and conductor. Let's enjoy this fantastic Big Band, composed of great jazz instrumentalists and their distinguished guests, joined by the flamenco guitar player Ricardo Moreno and the great Mexican dancer Karen Lugo: one can rarely see so much talent gathered together in a single stage.
