Kathrine Windfield Big Band blæste anmeldere og publikum omkuld med debutalbummet “AIRCRAFT”, som vandt en Danish Music Award Jazz 2016 i kategorien Årets Nye Danske Jazznavn. Album var ligeledes nomineret som “Årets Udgivelse” og “Årets Jazzkomponist”. Skønt bandet kun har eksisteret siden 2014, har de 15 unge musikere bl.a. været husorkester på the The Standard Jazzclub i to sæsoner og optrådt med verdensnavne som Mike Stern og Nancy Harms. Windfields vitale kompositioner, der spænder fra det ekspressive til det lyriske, afslører ofte hendes fascination af bl.a. Cannonball Adderley og Dave Holland. Rytmiske twists, sofistikerede harmoniske passager og attitude stærke grooves leveres af det karismatiske team af knivskarpe ensemblemusikere og fremragende solister. De indtager scenen med deres seneste album “Latency” i bagagen, som blev udgivet tidligere på året.
