The Jazz of Grim Fandango – 20th anniversary concert
The thrilling soundtrack from Grim Fandango took the audience into the world of New Orleans’ jazz right from its first bars. Rhythmic percussion, a steady jerk of bass strings, some offensive piano accents, and wonderfully sounding woodwinds. A timeless classic! This performance was a pure jazz feast. The best jazz-men of the Bartosz Pernal Big Band took the audience back to twenties – with a twist.
