30 years and still going strong

You could write the band’s history as a story of overcoming obstacles. In the case of the Zurich Jazz Orchestra, this would be the organizational struggle of keeping an almost 20-piece big band on track, finding stages that are large enough, and organizers who are not afraid of a lot of power. Or it could […]

 
Zurich Jazz Orchestra & Thomas Gansch «Neat Little Songs»

First information about the new CD: “Neat Little Songs” – Zurich Jazz Orchestra featuring Thomas Gansch, conducted by Ed Partyka.

 
tonhalleAIR: Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich & Zurich Jazz Orchestra

The tonhalleAIR, which will take place every two years in the future, is entirely focused on musical and other encounters. Admission to the Münsterhof is free, chairs are available, but there is still plenty of room to stroll. Those who are hungry or thirsty will find a wide range of options. “I have always been […]

 
“Jazzhaus” (Jazzhouse Zurich)

The “Jazzhaus” sees itself as a workspace, a production house – and not as a concert venue. Rehearsal and working spaces for larger ensembles are a rare commodity in the city of Zurich.

The Zurich Jazz Orchestra consists of 18 musicians, all of them professionals with soloist quality, and has been playing in almost the same line-up since 2000. It skilfully varies between mainstream and avant-garde, orchestral big-band sound and explosive improvisations by the soloists. A mixture that carries you away. Zurich’s largest jazz ensemble has a hard […]

 
Zurich Jazz Orchestra & Steffen Schorn «Dedications»

The album «Dedications» is a worthy successor to «Three Pictures», released in 2018. Schorn’s compositions and thus the sound of the orchestra have, if at all possible, become even richer, more colorful, more differentiated, but at the same time more powerful. The album is proof of the fact that the sound spectrum and the possibilities […]

 
Zurich Jazz Talks

The Jazz Podcast with the Zurich Jazz Orchestra: guests, music, stories, relevance and also a bit of palaver.

 
Zurich Jazz Orchestra & Steffen Schorn «To My Beloved Ones»

The album includes five original compositions, all composed and arranged by Steffen Schorn, and from a musical perspective continues from where “Dedications” left off. The music is dense, powerful and yet completely transparent.
