A 6 CD retrospective to celebrate the Danish Radio Big Band s fiftieth anniversary. This superb collection reflects not only the musical journey of the band through the decades since 1964 but also the high regard in which it is held internationally since many famous names have been guests of the DRBB over the years including, among others, Stan Kenton, Dizzy Gillespie, Oliver Nelson, George Russell, Mary Lou Williams, Maynard Ferguson and Yusef Lateef. The band s evolving nature over the years is particularly well captured. A fitting tribute to an institution that after half a century continues to combine fine ensemble playing with an ongoing sense of musical adventure
