CHEERFUL JAZZ — The power and energy of a big band made up of 15 musicians and singers.
Jazz culture, rock sounds, big band arrangements, multiple instruments and vocals alternate or unite with ease and enthusiasm on modern and solid rhythms, always accessible and sometimes even danceable.
Of course, the 15 artists who make up L'Orchestre du Lion know each other well and are all active in the groups and/or shows of the Collective. But getting together in a single musical formation and enjoying the power and energy of a big band is a rare pleasure and a human, artistic and also... commercial challenge !
Their first album revisits compositions from the Collectif's bands and shows, with the desire to make listeners and spectators dance, sing and smile to its timeless hits !
