jazz concert by Maria Schneider Orchestra

Attended a jazz concert by Maria Schneider Orchestra, and listened to the band led by this American composer to play her 2004 album Concert in the Garden won a Grammy for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album, and her 2007 composition "Cerulean Skies" won a Grammy for 'Best Instrumental Composition," etc. as well as the world premier of her new work. She blended jazz with modern concepts (e.g., "Data Lords") and experimental sounds which were refreshing and delightful, yet mixed with some portions sounded overly busy and load to my ears. I ran into a friend who ushered tonight. — checked in to The Library of Congress.
