VEIN Trio already has a reputation as Inchone of Europe's most exciting ensemblesInch, according to John Fordham, of The Guardian. With Symphonic Bop, recorded with the acclaimed Norrbotten Big Band Orchestra VEIN expands it's range beyond the crystalline precision and intimacy of the small ensemble to the awesome power and depth of an internationally acclaimed jazz orchestra. It's like seeing your favorite movie on a bigger screen. What makes this work stand out among works for jazz orchestra is that, though it uses the power of a jazz orchestra to the full, VEIN's small-group heritage and identity ensure that the delicacy and texture of individual instrumental colors and lines are never obscured by the full weight of the orchestra.
