One of the leading Dutch trombone players is Ilja Reingoud. In April he played with the MJO in Deventer.
Some years ago Abraham Burton was the band’s soloist on alto saxophone, but this time he played on tenor. Wow, this was also a great experience!
Benjamin Herman is mostly known working with his own band, the New Cool Collective, but this evening he was the guest soloist on alto saxophone in Deventer.
The New Year’s concert with the lively/spirited playing of trumpeter Jan van Duikeren was a beautiful start in 2014.
The Dutch vibraphone player Frits Landesbergen is the orchestra’s soloist in December. Apart from Frits’ arrangements, also big band charts were played of the period of Terry Gibbs Dream Band.
The second concert of the mini tour was in Stadttheater Oberhausen, Germany. With both the guitarist and the band in shape the public enjoyed a marvelous concert. Read the fine (German!) review on this concert: 2013, Konzertkritik MJO in Oberhausen
The Bouwkunde concert was the start of the two-days tour with guitarist Anton Goudsmit.
In November the Millennium Jazz Orchestra was invited by ViVace to perform on the 25th anniversary of Crematory Almelo. It was a nice concert with two guest soloists: pianist Cor Bakker and baritone saxophonist Ronnie Cuber.
