About this event
The DR Big Band joins Trinidadian-born trumpeter and composer Étienne Charles for a high-energy jazz evening titled Caribbean Connection in Studie 2 at DR Koncerthuset. Charles leads on trumpet and vocals and provides all arrangements, bringing together modern big-band sonorities with the pulse of Caribbean rhythmic traditions. Cuban percussionist Eliel Lazo appears as guest artist to expand the ensemble’s percussive drive. The program draws on material from Charles’s Creole Orchestra projects and his earlier collaborations with the DR Big Band, emphasizing groove, dance-inflected textures, and layered rhythmic interplay. Running time is approximately two hours, including a 30-minute intermission.
