Pierre Dørge & New Jungle Orchestra ☉ turkis
Join in from July 10th to July 13th when turkis offers a summerly jazz program on the occasion of Aarhus Jazz Festival. Check out the complete program here.
The Jungle Orchestra has existed for 42 years, which is an outstanding achievement - especially for a band of that size.
Years ago, the band was considered to be one of the few bands left playing "real" world music by an American magazine. The band has played in more than 60 (!) countries all over the world, drawing inspiration from all cultures and types of music. In addition, the heart of bandleader Pierre Dørge's inspirations lies with Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus.
Some argue that modern jazz is too serious and lacks humor. This is certainly not the case with the Jungle Orchestra who plays with an irresistible joy and playfulness, whether performing a chorale by Carl Nielsen or letting loose and playing with language in a Dadaist way. Creativity has no limits!
If you already know the Jungle Orchestra, you'll be delighted to see them again. If you haven't heard this unique orchestra before, you're in for a treat!
