Jazz Orchestra

A jazz orchestra, often called a big band, is a large musical ensemble that performs jazz music. It typically includes sections of saxophones, trumpets, trombones, and a rhythm group with piano, bass, and drums. The orchestra combines improvisation with arranged compositions, creating a lively and dynamic sound. It originated in the early 20th century and is known for its rich textures, energetic performances, and the ability to blend individual solos with coordinated group play. Jazz orchestras are common in live performances, recordings, and jazz festivals, celebrating the vibrant and improvisational spirit of jazz music.
