The Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw (JOC) is a powerhouse Dutch big band rooted in Amsterdam’s iconic Concertgebouw, blending tradition with modern flair. Formed in the mid-’90s, this ensemble has become a beacon for jazz lovers, known for its crisp arrangements and dynamic live performances. Their recent releases, like *The Dutch Heritage Series* albums, showcase their knack for reinventing classics (think *Satin Doll* or *Stolen Moments*) while spotlighting homegrown talent and global jazz legends. They’ve also paid homage to composers like Jim McNeely (*Threnody*) and celebrated milestones, such as their *30 Jaar Sesjun* live recording. Whether swinging through holiday tunes (*Wonderful Christmastime*) or collaborating on projects like *The Jazz Influencers*, JOC keeps big band energy alive with a Dutch twist—proving jazz is very much a living, breathing art form.
