Jazz Composer's Orchestra

The Jazz Composer's Orchestra was an innovative collective formed in the late 1960s that brought together jazz musicians, composers, and avant-garde artists to create large-scale, experimental jazz works. They prioritized artistic collaboration and avant-garde experimentation, often blending jazz with classical and other music genres. Their performances featured complex compositions and improvisation, emphasizing artistic freedom and social themes. The orchestra played a significant role in expanding the boundaries of jazz during that era, fostering a community of innovative artists dedicated to exploring new musical ideas and challenging conventional forms.
