This project was launched to pursue a new style of jazz with wind instrument formations. The aim is for performance that communicates the appeal of a symphonic jazz orchestra, something which can only be achieved with a big band using a wide variety of instruments. Organizers use professional artists working in various fields such as jazz performance, studio work and orchestra, and works by specialist jazz composers to put together concerts that can only be performed by a full-fledged jazz brass band.
