Boston Modern Orchestra Project: Gunther Schuller: Journey Into Jazz

Read "Gunther Schuller: Journey Into Jazz" reviewed by Ted Gordon

by Ted Gordon

What might seem the most innocuous music is often the most avant-garde, the most challenging; the spark that forces the question of what defines the boundaries of jazz. Gunther Schuller's “Journey Into Jazz," composed in 1962, is just that: a children's narrative, telling the story of one Eddie Jackson, “a boy who learned about jazz," a ...
