Under the leadership of saxophonist Tommy Smith, the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra (SNJO) has distinguished itself as one of the UK’s best big bands. They have collaborated with many artists, including Gary Burton, John Scofield and Kurt Elling. Now they have created a tribute to the music and musicians of the record label ECM by selecting a number of famous songs from the company’s huge catalogue. The songs have been arranged by Mike Gibbs, Geoff Keezer, Makoto Ozone, Tommy Smith and Trygve Seim, among others, for a big band format, with our own star bassist Arild Andersen as soloist. The music, which was recorded in Glasgow, will be released on CD by ECM in autumn 2011, but you have a chance to hear it at Bjørnsonhuset on Saturday 23 July.
