Lounaskonsertti: UMO Plays Thad Jones at Savoy-teatteri

“One of the greatest trumpet players of all times”, is the common opinion about the American trumpet player Thad Jones among jazz historians.
Nevertheless, Jones was first and foremost an arranger and a composer. He worked together with Count Basie Orchestra, The Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra and the Danish Radio Big Band. Even today his compositions form a big part of the main repertoire of big bands.
Usually orchestras only play some greatest hits of the comprehensive list of compositions by Thad Jones. This lunch concert is an exception, as UMO performs some of the less-known masterpieces of Jones. The audience can expect to hear elegant big band fun and lively solos!...

“One of the greatest trumpet players of all times”, is the common opinion about the American trumpet player Thad Jones among jazz historians.
Nevertheless, Jones was first and foremost an arranger and a composer. He worked together with Count Basie Orchestra, The Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra and the Danish Radio Big Band. Even today his compositions form a big part of the main repertoire of big bands.
Usually orchestras only play some greatest hits of the comprehensive list of compositions by Thad Jones. This lunch concert is an exception, as UMO performs some of the less-known masterpieces of Jones. The audience can expect to hear elegant big band fun and lively solos!
The conductor of the concert is Ville Vannemaa.
The concert is played at Savoy Theatre at 12–1 p.m. and is free of charge. It is possible to book a ticket for free from the outlets of  Savoy Theatre or for a fee of €1 from Lippupiste.

”Yksi kaikkien aikojen parhaista trumpettisolisteista.” Näin jazzhistorioitsijat luonnehtivat yhdysvaltalaistrumpetisti Thad Jonesia.
Merkittävimmän työnsä Jones teki kuitenkin sovittajana ja säveltäjänä. Hän työskenteli muun muassa Count Basie Orchestran, the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestran ja The Danish Radio Big Bandin kanssa. Yhä tänä päivänä Jonesin sävellykset edustavat isoa osaa big bandien keskeisestä ohjelmistosta.
Useimmiten Jonesin laajasta sävellystuotannosta esitetään kuitenkin vain suurimpia hittejä. Tässä lounaskonsertissa asiaan tulee muutos, kun UMO nostaa nuottitelineilleen Jonesin vähemmän soitettuja teoksia. Luvassa on eleganttia big band -iloittelua ja lennokkaita sooloja!
Konsertin kapellimestarina toimii Ville Vannemaa.
Vapaa pääsy. Jos haluat varmistaa paikkasi konsertissa, voit varata lipun Savoy-teatterin lipunmyyntipisteistä (0 €) tai Lippupisteestä (1 €).
