A unique Czech project of collaboration between the Prague rock band Strom stínu and a jazz big band of fourteen called Bucinatores Orchestra. The music of the alternative rock trio Strom stínu changes in the newly created compositions and becomes incredibly energetic and immersive. Bucinatores Orchestra is a modern jazz big band of fourteen of the most creative Czech musicians of mid and young generations, conducted by the trombonist Jan Jirucha. The band's music radiates energy, invention, confidence, freshness and joy. Their unusual instrumental combination with no harmonic instruments creates a fascinating sound dominated by an excellent wind instrument section. Bucinatores notably features a legend of Czech alternative Music, Mikoláš Chadim, who plays alto sax and a vocalist-cellist Dora Barová.

The talented Swiss piano trio VEIN originating from Basel collaborates with one of the best jazz big bands from Scandinavia, in a joint project called Symphonic Bop. Their performance will feature exclusive versions of VEIN's compositions from their two latest projects The Chamber Music Effect and VEIN plays RAVEL, reconstructed for the sixteen-player Norrbotten Big Band. The size of the orchestra makes the music wonderfully dynamic and energetic. VEIN's music crosses between modern jazz, classical music and composed jazz standards. Themes are masterfully being abstracted and put back together in novel rhythmic juxtapositions. Both traditional aspects and a denial of jazz roots mix together. The main features of their music are almost anarchic improvisation, spontaneity, freshness and a diversion from the academic rigidity of classic templates.
