KC Jazz Big Band plays Students’ Work
Each year, arrangements and compositions crafted by our students in the arranging classes are performed by KC Jazz Big Band. Once again, KC Jazz invites you to two special concerts, presenting diverse works and unique artistic visions of our students.
The concert on Friday, March 31st at 20:00 in the Conservatoriumzaal, Amare will be conducted by a very special guest: composer, arranger, trombonist and educator Robin Eubanks. The concert on Saturday, April 1st at 20:00 in PJPJ Voorschoten, will be led by Claudio de Rosa, saxophonist, composer and arranging teacher at the Royal Conservatoire.
Robin Eubanks is the premier jazz trombonist of his generation. Whether performing with his groups, Mental Images or EB3 or with The SF Jazz Collective, Dave Holland Quintet / Big Band, Robin is an artist whose impact on audiences has proven powerful and lasting. Throughout his career, Robin has since yielded an amazing array of collaborations with such notable artists as Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, Eddie Palmieri, Sun Ra, Barbra Streisand, The Rolling Stones and Talking Heads – just to name a few. He’s won Grammys for his performances on Michael Brecker’s Wide Angles and Dave Holland’s What Goes Around and Overtime.
Claudio de Rosa is the saxophonist, arranger, composer, educator and a rising musician in the European Jazz scene. He is also arranging and composition teacher at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague, who helped students greatly when preparing Students’ Work project.
Together with Claudio, Robin will work with KC Jazz Big Band for the whole week, playing two beautiful concerts: Friday, March 31 (led by Robin Eubanks) and Saturday, April 1 (led by Claudio de Rosa), where Students’ Work will be central.
