VANGUARD JAZZ ORCHESTRA
About This Event
The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra performs at the Village Vanguard, continuing a Monday-night big-band lineage rooted in Thad Jones and Mel Lewis. The group's repertory emphasizes large-ensemble writing where section blend and ensemble timing drive the music more than solo display; performances favor precision and continuity suited to close listening in the Vanguard's intimate room.
