Modern Big Band sound
(feat. Andreas Haderer, Rodney Hunter,
Christian Radovan, Walter Grassmann,
Bob Dodge, Martin Fuss, Johannes Kottek,
Rens Newland..)
This CD marks the recording debut of the
VIENNA BIG BAND MACHINE. The group
was founded in 1984 and taken over by Hans
Salomon a couple of years later. Hans breathed
new life into the band and since then they have
played with such jazz guests as Joe Zawinul
and Toots Thielemans, among others.
It presents various atmospheres on 15 titles:
From Pop through Funk, Rumba, Latin to Rap,
and still it’s a real Bigband sound, featuring
young and great
soloists: a.o.
Andreas Haderer (WDR Big Band)-tp, Robert
Schönherr-p.
Outstanding arrangements of
Hans Salomon (A, the leader),
Rens Newland (NL, A, also Musical Director of
Gloria Gaynor),
Herbert Pichler (A, wellknown as
director of the Dancing Stars Orchestra) and
Thomas Huber.
The band ist recently still touring, with partly
new instrumentalists and soloists
