Jazz music community with review and forums
Highly regarded German jazz ensemble connected to the country's public broadcasting station based in Cologne.
A top European jazz group, Germany's WDR Big Band is a sophisticated ensemble, featuring an evolving line-up of some of the country's best musicians. A function of the German public broadcasting institution Westdeutscher Rundfunk Köln based in Cologne, the WDR Big Band are musical ambassadors charged with promoting jazz and culture at home and around the world. Over their seven-plus-decades career, the WDR have released numerous albums on their own, featuring such guest artists as Ron Carter, Paquito D'Rivera, Arturo Sandoval, and others. Recognized internationally, they have earned plaudits, including a German Jazz Award for their work on arranger Vince Mendoza's 1992 album Jazzpaña, and a Grammy Award for their 2005 Brecker Brothers collaboration Some Skunk Funk. Although much of the WDR Big Band's performances take place in Germany, they often tour the globe.
