The Carrollton Jazz Orchestra’s concert, Legends of Jazz, on November 7, will treat the audience to the work of some of the genre’s great masters. “Whether you are a life-long jazz aficionado or just love great music played by great musicians, Legends of Jazz will be an evening you’ll never forget,” CJO pianist, Terry Lowry, said. “The
CJO features some of the finest jazz soloists in the Southeastern United States. These guys can play!”
The orchestra’s program is built around the music of Dizzy Gillespie, William Russo, Thad Jones, Stan Kenton, Count Basie and Sammy Nestico, all legends of big band jazz. “This music is, at its essence, an expression of joy in the moment,” Lowry said. “It is sophisticated and elegant as well as driving and swinging. If not all strictly dance music,
certainly this music demands that your body moves – at least in your seat.”
