Leader, composer, arranger & conductor A teacher from Rotterdam’s Conservatory told me once: “the best way to learn how to write for big band is simple: you create a big band, arrange a repertoire and try it out in the rehearsals”. And I did so! The orchestra played in some festivals and concerts, and started collaboration with dutch soloist as Ilja Rijngoud (trombone) and Esther Schoenmakers (voice) and with the basc Víctor de Diego (sax). We realeased the CD Opus one (2005) and participated in Homenatge a Ovidi (2004) with the rock band Inadaptats.
