Q-Some Big Band
<p><strong>The Q-Some Big Band</strong> is a big band that explores the boundaries of the big band genre in different dimensions. Swinging on stage with a classic crooner entertainer, dive into modern jazz or just simply having the blues for a moment… it’s all possible! QBB unites everything one might expect from a big band anno 2019: modern swing in contemporary arrangements, spiced up by youthful enthusiasm. But there's more...</p>

<p>After four years of creating fantastic music and playing awsome concerts in super venues (Roma, Rivierenhof, Polé Polé,...), it is time to record a fine selection of magical <strong>pieces of our own</strong> in-house composers. <strong>The following are upcoming talented Belgian composers</strong>: <strong><a href="http://www.mantenvangils.com" target="_blank">Manten Van Gils</a></strong> - who wrote the beautiful 'Soft Viking' on which the BJO was more than interested, <strong>Robbe Willems</strong>, <strong>Pierre-Antoine Savoyat</strong> and prizewinning <strong><a href="http://www.gabrieledifranco.com" target="_blank">Gabriele di Franco</a></strong>. They gathered in the Q-Some Composer Hub. To capture their fine works, we need your help!</p>

<p>For this recording project, QBB is guided in the right direction by our seasoned artistic coaches <strong>Lode Mertens</strong> and <strong>Dieter Limbourg</strong>, from the internationally renowned Brussels Jazz Orchestra (BJO). </p>
Allocation of funds
<p>Recording an album involves a lot, and for sure when we're talking bigband. For starters, we engaged a<strong> top studio</strong>: DAFT, in Malmedy, and we scheduled an extra rehearsal weekend. After the recordings in the weekend of 20-21-22 September comes the mixing, mastering and the actual CD-pressing. Very important are the authors' rights, promotion and catering!</p>
<p>Fortunately we have some in-house know-how: web design, cover design, production of the release concert. And composing, of course.</p>
<p>But still, recording some of our masterpieces with 18 fantastic musicians is a challenging and costly adventure. So this is how we will use your financial support:</p>

<p> </p>
<p>A compensation for the musicians has been assumed in the budget, but when we collect more than the initial target, <strong>all extra's go directly to them too</strong>. You can't live from love for music alone....</p>
<p>The money will be transferred to the account of our own Non profit organization (Quintessence VZW). The funds will be used entirely on the making and release of this album. </p>
<p>You will get your copy of the album on the release concert in the fall of 2019. </p>
