Q-Some Big Band – dreamin’

Dreamin’ is the debut album of Q-Some Big Band and contains one hour of home-grown music: 10 sparkling new compositions by the Q-Some Composer Hub. There is great variation and at the same time a clear common line: there are no more boxes. These are musical painters swimming through many waters, skilfully playing and writing, with brush, painting knife and everything else they can get their hands on.
