Looking for the jazz experience of a lifetime?
Jeunesses Musicales International together with Jeunesses Musicales Norway
invite you to join the 2014 edition of the JM Jazz World Orchestra. This time
we’re going to Norway and musicians can look forward to one week of good
jazzy fun together with top young international jazz musicians before performing
at the Kongsberg Jazz Festival which this year headlines stars like Chick Corea,
Joshua Redman and Dave Holland.
Under the musical leadership of Erlend Skomsvoll, 16 young jazz musicians
will form the 2014 orchestra. Skomsvoll is a Norwegian jazz musician, band
leader, composer, producer and arranger. He is internationally acclaimed for his
big band collaborations with Chick Corea, Pat Metheny and many others.
The JM Jazz World Orchestra are looking for
talented musicians between the ages of 18 to 26.
We are looking for the following instrumentation:
Saxophones, trombones, trumpets, horns, tuba, guitar, bass, drums,
piano and vocals. It is favourable if you read sheet music, but the
most important thing is your love for playing jazz music.
The plan is to meet in Kongsberg on June 27, socialize, play and
work together to create the best young big band the world has ever seen.
July 3 is the big day at the Kongsberg Jazz Festival, where the orchestra performs
at the Young Talent stage. There will also be a gig at another venue in Kongsberg
as well as plenty of time to enjoy the festival.
More plans coming soon!
