HGM JAZZ ORCHESTRA ZAGREB
Jeunesses Musicales Jazz Orchestra Zagreb is founded in Jeunesses Musicales International Cultural Centre (JMC ICC) in Grožnjan in March 2002 on the initiative of young jazz musicians the participants of the Jazz workshops. Summer Jazz School is held traditionally every summer in JMC ICC in Grožnjan under the leadership of BoÅ¡ko Petrović. The very good artistic results of the workshop have motivated JM Croatia to form the first young professional jazz big band in Croatia. The leader of the Big Band is Mr. Sigi Feigl and the members are the music school pupils, students and young musicians from all over Croatia.
The attractiveness and the quality of playing as well as the team of mentors it has already gathered can very soon lead JMC Jazz Orchestra Zagreb at the very top of jazz youth orchestra scene in Europe.

for by excellent musicians…�

HGM JAZZ ORKESTAR ZAGREB
HGM Jazz Orkestar Zagreb osnovan je u ožujku 2002. godine u Međunarodnom kulturnom centru Hrvatske glazbene mladeži u Grožnjanu. Projekt je nastao na inicijative mladih jazz glazbenika, polaznika Ljetne jazz Å¡kole koja se održava već tradicionalno svakog ljeta u MKC HGM Grožnjanu pod vodstvom BoÅ¡ka Petrovića..
Uspješnost te radionice potaknula je Hrvatsku glazbenu mladež da pokrene taj projekt kao prvi mladi profesionalni Jazz Big band u Hrvatskoj.
Voditelj HGM Jazz Orkestra Zagreb je Sigi Feigl, a članovi su učenici muzičkih Å¡kola i mladi glazbenici iz Zagreba i drugih hrvatskih gradova.
Orkestar bi se po atraktivnosti i kvaliteti izvedbe, timu mentora koji se već okupio i mladim glazbenicima, mogao dovesti vrlo brzo u sam vrh međunarodnih jazz omladinskih orkestara.
O prvim nastupima je u tisku pisalo:
..»izvrstan početak...koji je već prvim svojim nastupom zablistao na hrvatskoj džez sceni...»Večernji list,23.6. 2002.
...»sat i pol vrhunskog jazza...skup jazz glazbenika iznimnog znanja a time i izvedbe, brzo je osvojio osječku publiku..»Osječki glas, 9.7.2002.
...»Lijepo je vidjeti da hrvatska jazz scena ima snažan, brojan, i nadahnut pomladak o čijem se odrastanju brinu vrsni muzičari..»
Glas Istre» 9.8.2002.
