BvR Flamenco Bigband 10 Years

The Spanish-Dutch saxophonist Bernard van Rossum has been leading his BvR Flamenco Big Band for 10 years now: an extra-large big band around a flamenco core and therefore a unique phenomenon. In his compositions, Van Rossum sheds new light on flamenco rhythms and harmonies through colorful orchestrations and the large dynamic range of the big band. It earned him the prestigious Rogier van Otterloo Award.

Flamenco and jazz

The BvR Flamenco Big Band brings together super talent from flamenco and jazz. The debut album Jaleo Holandés was presented during the Flamenco Biennale and was very well received. On the 2nd album 'Luz de luna', in addition to Dutch saxophone pride Ben van Gelder, band members of Paco de Lucía also played. For the 3rd album 'Del río a la mar', Van Rossum once again chose musicians who collaborated with the guitar legend, namely bassist Carles Benavent and singer Rafael de Utrera.
