Bruno Vansina Orchestra

This new project features the Bruno Vansina Quintet plus a large horn ensemble. The music consists of compositions by Bruno Vansina arranged for large ensemble by Dree Peremans (from the Rebirth Collective), a young talented Belgian composer, arranger and trombonist. For his arrangements he gets to work with a full colour pallet : flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, French horn, 2 tenors, 1 alto, 2 trumpets and 2 trombones plus a large rhythm section: piano, guitar, bass, drums and percussion. A total of no less than 17 musicians!

Written in an intuitive way yet rhythmically quite evolved, it focuses heavily on color, atmosphere and contrast. The compositions have a worldly feel to them, at times exotic and meditative, like mantras. At times dark and dreamy but always and, above all, true contemporary jazz.
