Cassio Vianna Jazz Orchestra: Vida
by Jack Bowers
As you can't always describe a book by its cover, neither can you invariably pinpoint with accuracy a jazz ensemble's locale by its name alone. The Cassio Vianna Jazz Orchestra, to choose a random example, is not from Italy--nor from anywhere else in Europe. Although born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Cassio Vianna has lived in ...

On this album, it's a tomorrow that also sets ...
Maria Baptist: Music for Jazz Orchestra
by Jack Bowers
Like it or not, a new wave of young composer / arrangers has surfaced, scrupulously guiding big bands into heretofore uncharted waters, now and then smooth, at other times choppy, but always intriguing and inspired. Maria Schneider, George Gruntz, Jim McNeely and Carla Bley were among the pacesetters, followed in short order by such (relative) newcomers ...
Dave Brubeck: Small Groups, Large Stature
by Jack Bowers

On the other hand, he was an extraordinary musician, one whose influence will no doubt be felt for generations to come.
