Paradox Jazz Orchestra and pianist and composer Randal Corsen have joined forces to set off on a thrilling musical escapade. Their collaboration is an encounter between the swinging energy of a big band, and the rich sounds of Antillean and Latin American music. Paradox Jazz Orchestra was founded in 2020 by conductor and saxophonist Jasper Staps and trumpeter Teus Nobel. The orchestra presents a reimagined take on both unique and timeless jazz compositions within the big band genre. Curaçaoan Edison winner Corsen is known for his innovative blend of jazz, classical and Caribbean music, as well as his compositional finesse, and has worked with David Sanchez, Leo Amuedo and Izaline Calister, among others. Together, Paradox Jazz Orchestra and Corsen explore the possibilities of the big band idiom in combination with rhythmic and harmonic elements from Latin such as salsa, tumba, danzón and merengue. The result is a vibrant mix in which energetic rhythms, dazzling horns and compelling melodies come together, and tradition and innovation connect.
