The Q-Some Big Band 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...

The Q-Some Big Band:

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 pieces of our own in-house composers. The following are upcoming talented Belgian composers: Manten Van Gils - who wrote the beautiful 'Soft Viking' on which the BJO was more than interested, Robbe Willems, Pierre-Antoine Savoyat and prizewinning Gabriele di Franco. They gathered in the Q-Some Composer Hub. To capture their fine works, we need your help!

For this recording project, QBB is guided in the right direction by our seasoned artistic coaches Lode Mertens and Dieter Limbourg, from the internationally renowned Brussels Jazz Orchestra (BJO).
