About

The Brabant Jazz Orchestra (in Dutch: "Het Brabants Jazz Orkest") was founded in 1978. Within a few years this orchestra developed into a full grown orchestra where the joy of making music resulted in a high performance level. From 1997 Jeroen Doomernik leads the band.

The Brabant Jazz Orchestra has developed into a solid professional orchestra with performances all over the country and abroad e.g. Belgium, Germany, Wales and Poland. There were several radio and CD recordings. The Band is also a ‘breeding place’ for new upcoming talent.

Repertoire: The Brabant Jazz Orchestra prefers to play as many different styles as possible with an accent on modern / contemporary big band music. Besides compositions of well known composers like Bill Holman, Count Basie, Thad Jones, Bob Mintzer, Stan Kenton and Sammy Nestico the band also plays compositions from great Dutch composers like Rob Pronk, Ab Schaap, Jerry van Rooyen, Martin Fondse and Nico Langenhuijsen.
