Formed in in Munich in 2011, Germany, The Monika Roscher Bigband is a wild large ensemble blending math-jazz, avant-pop, prog, and experimental soundscapes. Led by guitarist and composer Monika Roscher, the band is smashing the boundaries of the traditional big band genre with its extraordinary sound. With explosive brass arrangements, powerful guitar riffs, and playful live electronics, they create a unique sonic experience that turns every performance into an unpredictable adventure of virtuosic joy, symphonic grandeur, and feverish ecstasy. Their latest album, "Witchy Activities And The Maple Death" (Zenna Records), received the German Record Critics’ Award and was nominated for the 2024 German Jazz Award as Best Album, while the track "8 Prinzessinne"n won the German Jazz Award for Composition of the Year. |
