"Probably the best band in Europe" said Earnie Wilkins years ago. When you tell the story about DRBB of course youʼll have to mention all the great musicians, who have been working with the band and in the band since the early sixties.

DRBB - the short story
The Danish Radio Big Band was founded in 1964, at a time when the Copenhagen jazz scene was buzzing with life and the city was regularly visited by big musicians from the USA. The DRBB had since then been led by many striking bandleaders and been playing with a lot of great musicians. Leaders like Thad Jones, Bob Brookmeyer, Ray Pitts, Maria Schneider and Jim Mcneely on the conductor side and soloists like Miles Davis, Joe Henderson, Stan Getz - and in recent years among others with Randy Brecker, Chris Potter, Mike Stern and John Scofield. You can find loads of material and old stories about this legendary Big Band and they all tell the story about high focused musical expertise and artistic outstanding performances.
