Mingus møder Ellington i Pierre Dørges verdensorkesters globale lyd
Hvilken slags jazz spiller de?
Pierre Dørges musik er rendyrket "Global Jazz", der blander den klassiske amerikanske swing-tradition (med facetter af Duke Ellington og Charles Mingus) med eksotiske klange fra Bali, Afrika, Mellemøsten og dansk kormusik. Det er jazz, der både er dybt seriøs og befriende humoristisk. Musikken veksler mellem komplekse kompositioner og fri improvisation.
Hvad skal jeg vide om dem?
New Jungle Orchestra er utvivlsomt et af Danmarks mest berejste orkestre. Siden 1980 har de turneret i mere end 60 lande – fra USA og Kina til Ghana og Syrien – og har fungeret som officiel kultur ambassadør for Danmark, blandt andet for Kongehuset. I samme ombæring har de givet koncerter for internationale fredsikoner som Dalai Lama og Nelson Mandela. Med over 40 år på bagen og mere end 20 albums i ryggen, har Pierre Dørge skabt en "skole" i dansk jazz, hvor mange af landets største profiler har slået deres folder. Som 8-personers band fremstår de i dag som en trimmet, swingende maskine, der kender hinandens musikalske udtryk ned til mindste detalje.

"Europas mest sofistikerede jazzorkester... En uimodståelig blanding af Duke Ellingtons elegance og afrikansk vildskab." — Jazzwise (UK)
"Det er stadig, efter mere end 40 år, livgivende, overraskende og morsomt at være i selskab med Dørge og hans jungleorkester. De spiller, som gjaldt det livet – med et smil." — Politiken (DK)

🇬🇧 ENGLISH:
What kind of jazz do they play?
Pierre Dørge's music is pure "Global Jazz", mixing the classic American swing tradition (with facets of Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus) with exotic sounds from Bali, Africa, the Middle East and Danish choral music. It is jazz that is both deeply serious and liberatingly humorous. The music alternates between complex compositions and free improvisation.
What should I know about them?
New Jungle Orchestra is undoubtedly one of Denmark's most travelled orchestras. Since 1980, they have toured in more than 60 countries – from the USA and China to Ghana and Syria – and have acted as official cultural ambassadors for Denmark, including the Royal House. At the same time, they have given concerts for international peace icons such as the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela. With over 40 years under their belt and more than 20 albums under their belt, Pierre Dørge has created a "school" in Danish jazz, where many of the country's biggest profiles have played their part. As an 8-piece band, they now appear as a trim, swinging machine that knows each other's musical expressions down to the smallest detail.
What do the reviewers say?
"Pierre Dørge's New Jungle Orchestra is one of the most productive and inventive bands in Europe... Dørge's musical vision is both broad and deep." — DownBeat Magazine (US)
"Europe's most sophisticated jazz orchestra... An irresistible blend of Duke Ellington's elegance and African wildness." — Jazzwise (UK)
"After more than 40 years, it is still invigorating, surprising and funny to be in the company of Dørge and his jungle orchestra. They play as if life depended on it – with a smile." — Politiken (DK)
