The first stop is the wonderful festival Nisville Jazz in Niš. The next day, 16 August, we will perform Graphicology for the audience of Belgrade. More info. Graphicology brings together big band jazz and graphic novel. Graphic novelist Philip Paquet — a noted jazz lover — selected some existing stories and thought up two new ones. Six composers wrote an accompanying soundtrack. The result is a ‘visual jazz score’: the stories have been edited into original videos projected on a large screen, while the Brussels Jazz Orchestra performs live the soundtrack to the images. A ground-breaking experience for jazz lovers and a surprising introduction to jazz for lovers of graphic novels! A taster can be found on YouTube.
