How to make your dreams come true - The curious story of Miho Hazama

with Miho Hazama, DR Big Band, Jim McNeely

How can a young Japanese woman carry on the legacy of the old jazz legends? The young Miho Hazama is a big name on the international jazz scene. In the US, she has been recognised as one of the 25 shooting stars who will shape the future of jazz. Now she is the chief conductor of the DR Big Band, carrying the torch from the jazz legends who have held the position before her. She will both carry on the legacy and take the orchestra somewhere new. Miho is from Japan and comes from a classical music tradition. She has also spent 10 years in New York with the jazz that Thad Jones, among others, helped shape and bring to Denmark in the 70s. This makes Miho a very special chief conductor - and now she is the one writing the next chapter in the history of the DR Big Band.
