Remembering The Skymas... - Paradox Jazz Orchestra & Jasper Staps - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

The Skymasters, founded in 1945 on behalf of the AVRO, became extremely popular due to their two or three weekly radio broadcasts featuring swinging big band music and Dutch vocal repertoire. With the radio program Swingtime (from 1978 to 1986) the orchestra established its reputation as one of Europe’s leading big bands. This first Paradox Jazz Orchestra’s album is dedicated to that illustrious big band when it was at its peak. The Paradox Jazz Orchestra was founded in 2019 by band leader, arranger and saxophone player Jasper Staps and trumpet player Teus Nobel with the aim of keeping the rich Dutch and international ‘big band heritage’ alive as well as getting it noticed again, also by a new and young audience.
