Chasin' the Horizon: The Railway Suite

For over a century, jazz musicians travelled the world by train, drawing inspiration from the distinctive rhythms of the rails. Trains not only provided a means of transport, but also became a powerful symbol of movement, progress, and musical exploration - connecting cities, cultures, and creative minds.

Today, as climate concerns grow, the legacy of the railways through jazz gains new relevance. Chasin’ the Horizon:The Railway Suite is both a tribute and a statement of intent by the orchestras: a celebration of jazz’s locomotive past and reflection of our shared journey towards a more sustainable future - one track at a time.
