About Jazz Orchestra

Jazz orchestra, colloquially known as big band, emerged in the early 20th century and reached its cultural zenith during the 1930s Swing Era.

Characterized by intricate written arrangements and syncopated swing rhythms, the music spans a wide emotional spectrum from high-energy, propulsive dance numbers to sophisticated, romantic ballads.
