Aalborg Youth Jazz Orchestra returns with "High School Songs for Big Band", where songs from the High School Songbook are interpreted in arrangements for big band with inspiration from the Nordic jazz scene.

The audience can experience well-known melodies unfolded with wind instruments, improvisations and new harmonies, where community songs and high school tradition meet sounds from modern jazz and big band music. The music moves between the familiar and the grand and gives new life to songs that many know from community songs and the Danish singing tradition.

The project is based on melodies that have been part of the Danish singing tradition for generations, but places them in a new musical context. The result is concert experiences, where recognizable songs meet new arrangements and a modern orchestral expression.

"High School Songs for Big Band" is a further development of a previous AYJO project and returns in a new edition with new musicians and new interpretations.
