Here we have a clip of the Maria Schneider Orchestra. Is it jazz? Yes. Does it sound like the jazz you are used to hearing? Probably not. Is it something unique and beautiful? Well, you decide. The group features some of the most happening players in the world- drummer Jeff Ballard, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, saxophonist Rich Perry to name a few. Listen to the way everyone works together. One of the things I like most about this clip is watching Ms. Schnieder. The way she connects to the music is the way I'd like connect with my own playing and compositions. The music clearly moves her.
