Orchestre National De Jazz

1067 fans

An exceptional group created and subsidized by the French Ministry of Culture, the Orchestre National de Jazz (ONJ) has succeeded in imposing its initially controversial image on successive conductors since 1986, thanks to the quality of its eclectic projects. Under the direction of double bassist Daniel Yvinec, the ONJ released the album Around Robert Wyatt in 2009, followed by Shut Up and Dance, Piazzolla! and The Party. Guitarist Olivier Benoît, who succeeded him in 2014, devoted his avant-garde tenure to a European trilogy represented by the volumes Europa Paris (2014), Europa Berlin (2015) and Europa Rome (2016).
