Frits Landesbergen Big Band • The Old Fashioned Way



The FRITS LANDESBERGEN BIG BAND was formed in 1969 by the Leiden pianist Frits Landesbergen and when formed was the only Big Band in the region.
During the first few years of its existence the band had a mainly jazz repertoire and therefore only played in the regional jazz clubs. As the demand for Big Bands which could play not only jazz but also good dance music developed over the years the band broadened its repertoire accordingly.
For more than 20 years the band has had the full Big Band complement of 5 saxes, 4 trombones, 5 trumpets, 2 singers and a complete 4 man rhythm section. Our regular vibraphonist provides an extra dimension.
The style of the band is based on the traditional swing of the famous bands from the fifties and sixties.
The repertoire contains many original Count Basie, Woody Herman, Duke Ellington, Sammy Nestico, Bill Holman arrangements as well as those made Frits Landesbergen himself.

Banda liderada por el vibrafonista y baterista holandés Frits Landesbergen.

La FRITS LANDESBERGEN BIG BAND fue formada en 1969 por el pianista de Leiden Frits Landesbergen y cuando se formó era la única Big Band de la región.

Durante los primeros años de su existencia la banda tenía un repertorio principalmente de jazz y por lo tanto sólo tocaba en los clubes regionales de jazz. A medida que la demanda de Big Bands que pudieran tocar no sólo jazz sino también buena música bailable se fue desarrollando con los años, la banda amplió su repertorio en consecuencia.

Por más de 20 años la banda ha tenido el complemento completo de Big Band de 5 saxos, 4 trombones, 5 trompetas, 2 cantantes y una sección rítmica completa de 4 hombres. Nuestro vibrafonista regular proporciona una dimensión extra.

El estilo de la banda se basa en el swing tradicional de las famosas bandas de los años cincuenta y sesenta.

El repertorio contiene muchos arreglos originales de Count Basie, Woody Herman, Duke Ellington, Sammy Nestico, Bill Holman, así como los realizados por el mismo Frits Landesbergen.
