About
Biggles Big Band is a 25 piece Amsterdam jazz orchestra that plays classic big band repertoire, with songs by Quincy Jones, John Clayton, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Frank Sinatra. They usually work with a vocalist, and Oscar Rodenburg has fronted the band. The sound is swinging and easy to get into. For years the band has held a regular Monday night slot at Casablanca, the well known jazz cafe in central Amsterdam. Bandleader Adrie Braat founded it. He is a double bass player who studied classical bass at the Amsterdam conservatory, and he also leads the Dutch Swing College Band. Biggles has played all over the Netherlands and has also built a name abroad, with shows in Germany and Paris and a tour through Thailand and Cambodia.
