Biography
The Hi-Fly Orchestra are an all-acoustic jazz outfit creating some great 60s influenced jazz-dance cuts with Latin edges and an infectious dance flavour that always gets the crowd moving. Unlike some of their contemporaries, who go for more of a deep funk groove, Hi Fly have a sound that's also equally jazzy – filled with hip riffs and references from 60s soul jazz and Latin, all served up with a sound that makes you feel like you got to start dance and then just keep on doing it…If the record productions make you feel you find a new modern day classic, the live experience takes you beyond today and puts you face to face with a the sound of a new tomorrow; it’s a time where you’re best memories from the 60’s meats a hole new universe of the 6 members of THFO assuring you the most authentic performance with absolute high-energy playing!
The Hi-Fly Orchestra was founded in 2005 by Jerker Kluge and Florian Riedl. Their intention was to create music sounding as hip as the classic jazz records of the early Blue Note. Music for dancing, without DJ´s, electronics or samples, just pure acoustic music! The heavy and rough rhythms are played by drums, double-bass, congas and piano, supporting the wonderful horn-lines by sax and trombone. Parts of The Hi-Fly Orchestra are also members of the groups Riovolt, Hipnosis, Liquid Loop and Zonazul.
