Trey Anastasio: Saying More With Less

by Doug Collette
September 23, 2007

For a good 15-year period starting in the '30s, jazz in the incarnation of big band swing enjoyed its heyday at the helm of American pop. Out of this period came some of America's greatest composers, including Duke Ellington and Fletcher Henderson and, being pop music, some of America's schmaltziest, including the band credited with igniting ...
