Big Band Explosion is the tenth solo (and twelfth overall) album by Nina Hagen, released on November 17, 2003, featuring the Leipzig Big Band.
The Allmusic review by David Jeffries awarded the album 3 stars stating "The lady was born to entertain, and if you're warm to her in-your-face absurdity, Big Band Explosion is a heck of a lot of fun. You'll be on the edge of your seat as the singer delivers the tunes straight-faced, but you just know that any moment she's going to bust out the brash Nina of old.". [1]
