With the Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Orchestra you never knowexactly what you will get. Sometimes they are invisible like arefined sound installation, the next time, they enter the stagewith twenty members. During this festival, the orchestra willperform with a line-up of six musicians. Guitarist Otomo Yoshihidewill bring trumpeter Axel Dorner, saxophonist Mats Gustafsson,pianist Cor Fuhler, bassist Mizutani Hiroaki and drummer YoshigakiYasuhiro to Rotterdam. Musically, this band is truly able toexplore all boundaries: from the repertoire that can be found onthe classic album Out to Lunch by Eric Dolphy, to their own work ason their CD ONJO. High-level improvisation; that is what OtomoYoshihide's New Jazz Orchestra excels in.
