VANGUARD JAZZ ORCHESTRA
About This Event
Rooted in the Thad Jones–Mel Lewis tradition, the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra continues to present large-ensemble jazz that privileges section blend and ensemble timing over solo display. At the Village Vanguard, the band sustains the club’s long Monday-night big-band lineage with repertory-focused, discipline-driven performances intended for close listening rather than spectacle.
