A gem of a concert for large-ensemble jazz fans, with power, and warmth. The Simon Bolivar Big Band has a sound that’s both lushly traditional and fiercely Latin-modern. A Venezuelan group with a brilliant and punchy sound. This isn’t a restrained band; they're alive, theatrical, and deeply expressive. Trumpets soar in peaceful unison and trombones add velvet depth and weight. Crisp cymbal work, sultry singers and live-room ambience bring this shimmering brass band to your screen.
