The Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra

The Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra
Friday, February 27, 2015; 8pm

The critically acclaimed Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, like jazz itself, is a living treasure. It’s also a tight eighteen-piece ensemble that swings together in one hot, cool, interwoven voice until a stellar soloist steps out front for a moment or a duet or trio hints at all of the small bands inside the big band. The SJMO plays jazz beginning to end, from its origins to the classics to new compositions commissioned for the orchestra. No other jazz big band can match the SJMO for artistic integrity, excitement, musical breadth and depth.
