The Flying Pekingese
Thursday, June 29th at 7PM: From the band: Swing-jazz band from Macedonia. The name means Flying Pekingese and it was chosen before the band even existed. One of the reasons for choosing the name is to break the ongoing tradition in jazz where you have a leader and the band carries his name and the number of musicians that are playing with him. This ongoing cliché somehow made today’s jazz groups sound predictive and killed the sound of a collective. Jazz became music for soloists and only that.
