Jassbox and Bergen Big Band challenge : Loosen tie . Lace-up dance shoes .
Since 2007 Jassbox has held monthly jazz club evenings in Bergen and Oslo , where they are on a mission to bring dance back to jazz , working hard to gather new recruits to the genre . In honour of the Bergen International Festival they have created a long-awaited collaboration between Bergen Big Band , jazz pianist Dag Arnesen and double bass player Magne Thormodsæter . Most of the music refers to danceable 1960s and 1970s compositions . The sizeable ensemble of horns and comp makes it possible to involve break-dancers , jazz-dancers , rappers and vocalists from Bergen ’ s underground scene . There is a lot of young talent eager to show the incredible potential in the fusion of contemporary styles and big band jazz .
