Factorial! Orchestra is a big band from Hradec Králové breaking away from the conventions of the genre. Under the direction of bandleader, arranger, and trombonist Zdeněk Borecký, the setlist consists almost entirely of original arrangements of well-known songs, reimagined in funk, pop, or modern jazz styles. In contrast to the traditional big band layout, with brass and woodwinds lined up in the front, Factorial! Orchestra places the rhythm section at the centre, surrounded by standing horn players. This configuration perfectly reflects the kind of music you can hear at their concerts.
