VANGUARD JAZZ ORCHESTRA

"The band's orchestral colors, rhythms, and formal strategies could take on modernist garb, but the band has always had a shout-it-out-loud enthusiasm, producing huge tones that are both thrilling and precise." The New Yorker

For over four decades New York’s Vanguard Jazz Orchestra has been committed to engaging audiences and serving as a creative outlet for some of the nation’s foremost performers, composers, and arrangers.
