Danish Radio Big Band (Band)
Biography:
The Danish Radio Big Band (DR Big Band), often referred to as the Radioens Big Band, is a jazz big band founded in Copenhagen in 1964, when the Copenhagen jazz scene was particularly active and the city was regularly visited by prominent jazz artists from the U.S. Originally called the New Radio Dance Orchestra, in the early years the band was led by Ib Glindemann. Over the next few decades, many new faces joined — a succession of striking bandleaders, musicians, and guest soloists such as Chris Potter — all of whom helped to develop the band into the experienced ensemble whose record releases and concerts have a devoted following all over the world.
