Gard Nilssen’s Supersonic Orchestra

With his sixteen-musician-strong all-star band, the Norwegian drummer, composer, and bandleader Gard Nilssen take over Kulturhuset during Stockholm Jazz Festival. With three drummers, three double bassists, and ten brass players, all you have to do is fasten your seat belt when Gard Nilssen’s Supersonic Orchestra shakes off convention and takes aim at orchestral jazz’s relationship between precomposed and improvisation, free and bound.
