"Big Band Legacy": The Evolution of the Jazz Orchestra
to
Charleston Music Hall 37 John Street, Charleston, South Carolina 29403
Join your Charleston Jazz Orchestra as we present a musical timeline of the evolution of the jazz orchestra with "Big Band Legacy." Developing in tandem with the growing dance craze, the jazz orchestra (AKA Big Band) took shape during the 1920s with early innovators such as Paul Whiteman and Fletcher Henderson, who merged jazz’s rhythmic and instrumental characteristics with the scale and structures of an orchestra. Big Bands then ushered in the swing era in the early 1930s with Duke Ellington and continued its legacy with Count Basie, Mary Lou Williams, Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich, Maria Schneider, Gordon Goodwin, and more, each playing a significant role in the development, innovation and popularization of orchestral jazz. The rest is history!
