The band's longevity attributes, among other things, to the fact that NJO is 'among the most enterprising and unpredictable outfits of this kind' (Richard Cook \u0026amp; Brian Morton - The Penguin Guide to Jazz.). The orchestra's first big international breakthrough came in 1986 being invited to perform at the Chicago Jazz Festival for the enthusiastic 60,000 audiences on the same bill with Art Farmer, Benny Golson and Sarah Vaughan. Pierre D\\xf8rge and his NJO since then have been touring all over the world, performing over 2500 concerts in more than 60 countries.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Ubi Zaa is a beautiful document from an important institution in Danish avantgarde jazz, making this difficult genre approachable with humorous, innovative and most of all crowd-pleasing way without losing sight of its free jazz roots.' - Brian Petro, Jazz Special on 'Ubi Zaa' (SCCD31819)\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonnel: Pierre D\\xf8rge guitar (conductor), Stephen Riley (tenor saxophone), Tobias Wiklund (trumpet), Jakob Mygind (tenor \u0026amp; soprano saxophone), Anders Banke (tenor saxophone, clarinet, bass clarinet), Kenneth Agerholm (trombone), Irene Becker (piano, synthesizer), Thommy Andersson bass), Ayi Solomon (congas, percussion), Martin Andersen (drums)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAburu Kuwa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMingus' Birthday Party\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElefante Imposante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSister\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKa Wa Ku Wo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRocking At Planet Pluto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMama Asili\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDancing In The Jungle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue Afriki\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWitchdoctor In The Burial Mound\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFulani\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55131866792321,"sku":"1208255","price":20.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41o8xFb5jaL._SL1500.jpg?v=1766953821","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1208255","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
