"Berlin Sketchbook" is RvNO's third recording. It is an extraordinary CD because of the band's very special instrumentation distinguishing it from other conventional big bands. The most creative musicians of the great jazz scene of Berlin unified in a remarkable orchestra, whose arrangements stem from the orchestra's members themselves.
