Everything about Orchestral Jazz totally explained
Orchestral jazz is a
jazz genre developed in the
United States in the
1920s, most significantly by
Fletcher Henderson and
Duke Ellington.
As early as the
1910s there had been dance orchestras playing the popular songs of the day along with a smattering of jazz. But the first to truly perform and record orchestral jazz was
Fletcher Henderson, starting in about 1923, who gathered from smaller quintets and sextets a number of notable
New York based players and formed the first full jazz orchestra. Henderson relied heavily on the arranging talent of the alto saxophonist and
multi-instrumentalist Don Redman.
Among the most significant composers of Orchestral jazz was
Duke Ellington, developing his mode at
Harlem's Cotton Club in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
