VANGUARD JAZZ ORCHESTRA
About This Event
The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, with a direct lineage to the Thad Jones–Mel Lewis repertory, sustains the Village Vanguard’s long Monday-night big-band tradition. The ensemble emphasizes large-group writing and disciplined ensemble timing, privileging section blend and continuity over solo display; a Jan. 26 engagement at the club was cancelled.
