Roland Perrin's Blue Planet Orchestra
latin jazz fusion soul jazz
Influences: Duke Ellington, Gil Evans, Dizzy Gillespie

Expect sophisticated arrangements of both original compositions and imaginative re-interpretations—Charlie Parker reimagined in New Orleans style, the Beatles as Afro-Cuban funk—from a musician whose gifts as both a writer and improviser have earned recognition across the contemporary jazz scene.
