Quintessence is a big band that explores the boundaries of the big band genre in different dimensions. Swinging on stage with a classic crooner entertainer, exploring towards modern jazz or just simply having the blues for a moment... it's all possible! QBB unites everything one might expect from a big band anno 2015: modern swing in contemporary arrangements, spiced up by youthful enthusiasm and guided in the right direction by our seasoned artistic leader René Stegman.
