This big band is indispensable as a driving force for Berlin's writing and performing jazz guild. The orchestra boldly subverts the norms of big band officialdom – incorporating the jazz rock of Miles Davis in the 1980s as well as modal soundscapes and powerful, rocky ostinato compositions. The big band as a multiple personality. An asset.’

What is right, what is wrong in jazz? Nobody can tell you.
Take the JayJayBeCe orchestra led by Leon Griese, for example.
Is it still right for this big band not to be influenced by a few writers, but to take as many Berlin jazz composers as possible on board for improvisation?
