"The Frankfurt Radio Bigband is one of the most innovative German jazz ensembles of our times. Its imaginative programmes, quality musicians and high-profile projects have raised the Big Band of the Hessischer Rundfunk (German Public Radio of Hesse) to the Champions League of large ensemble jazz music and have set new musical standards. From swing to the avant-garde, it covers the entire spectrum of jazz, as well as crossing over into classical, pop and world music. Together, projects with talented young
musicians and international stars, concerts performances, radio broadcasts and CD recordings make up what the hr-Bigband is today.
The band's days as a "radio dance orchestra" have long past. Today, the Frankfurt Radio Bigband is a celebrated guest at numerous jazz festivals, and itself invites international jazz stars like Mike Stern, Michael Brecker, Billy Cobham, Django Bates or John Scofield to perform, driving the development of Big Band music forward with commissions for compositions and arrangements. Thanks to their regular intensive collaboration to create a tight homogenous sound ensemble, the Frankfurt Radio Bigband's musicians are ready for any challenge.
Thanks to the wide range of its musical work, the Frankfurt Radio Bigband has become an irreplaceable part of cultural life in Germany."
