“What's right, what's wrong in jazz? No one can tell you.
Take the JayJayBeCe orchestra led by Leon Griese, for example.
Is it still right when this big band doesn't allow itself to be influenced by a few writers, but takes as many Berlin jazz composers as possible into the improvisation boat?
This big band is indispensable as a source of inspiration for Berlin's writing and playing jazz guild, and the orchestra dives cheekily away from the norms of big band officialdom - incorporating the jazz rock of Miles Davis of the eighties as well as modal soundscape games and powerful, rocking ostinato compositions. The big band as a multiple personality. An asset.”
