VANGUARD JAZZ ORCHESTRA
About This Event
The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, heir to the Thad Jones–Mel Lewis repertory, sustains the Village Vanguard’s Monday-night big-band tradition with disciplined, large-ensemble programming that spans its historical repertory and newer material. At the Vanguard, the group foregrounds section blend and ensemble timing over solo display, presenting music built for close listening and collective shape rather than individual showmanship.
