About The Event
Roland Perrin's Blue Planet Orchestra is a new project featuring a six piece band playing the music of Roland Perrin. This new material includes a diverse set of jazz arrangements of music written by among others, Sonny Rollins, Charlie Parker, The Beatles and Schubert as well as two or three Roland Perrin originals.
