It’s true! Perhaps one of the most exciting things about Peter Beets’ New Jazz Orchestra is how Beets hand-picks tomorrow’s bandleaders and invites them to the bandstand, challenging them to continue developing themselves. So far, collaborations involving these top-notch musicians have included Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, Willie Jones III, Roy Hargrove, the Metropole Orchestra, Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw, and many others.
