Jazz Orchestra

A jazz orchestra is essentially a group of musicians who channel their musical talents and energies towards performance based events like concerts. In this music genre, written notes of music are put together in a way so as to bring out the optimized multiple sounds of a large number of instruments. The result is wonderful euphonic sounds that captivate each and every person in the audience. Jazz Orchestra tickets are now available for all those who want to witness well written music pieces performed to perfection.
 
 
The differentiating factor between a jazz band and jazz orchestra is that of magnitude. An orchestra is defined by its presence of a complete set of instrumental sections. A conventional orchestra consists of sections of strings, brass, percussion and woodwinds most of which are also present in a jazz orchestra. However, there is a special emphasis on brass in jazz orchestra. Saxophones, trombones and trumpet are an integral part of a jazz orchestra band. Bass, tubas and flutes are also some common instruments that are made use of, while piano and drums may also be present depending on the scale and size of the group and performance.
 
 
Jazz Orchestras may be formed on a professional as well as amateur level. A professional jazz orchestra is made up of well known musicians and artists who have had the experience of performing in a large number of cities at various occasions. On the other hand, even a group of college students can come up with their own band and rightly be termed a jazz orchestra provided they possess the essential components of jazz instruments and perform at regular intervals.
 
 
A large orchestra comprises of hundred or more musicians and is termed as ‘symphony orchestra’. A relatively smaller ensemble with a number of fifty or less musical artists is referred to as ‘chamber orchestras’.  Symphony Jazz Orchestras may generate great revenue through their concert ticket sales; however, majority of them are non-profit organizations that are engaged in the local art societies. In many cases these artists donate their resources for the purpose of promoting music in schools and other places. They also receive a great amount of support and recognition by philanthropists and art benefactors.
 
 
In a standard orchestra there are usually two musicians per instrument with the exception of piano and drums. A conductor works alongside the band throughout the musical performance. He plays the key and dual role of coordinating the musicians together so as to focus on their collective contributions as well as arranging the written musical motes in the most rich and profound manner. Many of these pieces may belong to the traditional jazz; however, others are specifically composed for a complete jazz orchestra play.
 
 
Impactful music performance is what jazz orchestra is all about. This genre of music developed in the early twentieth century in the United States of America. Its discovery and invention is credited to two significant names, Fletcher Henderson and Duke Ellington. During the 1910s, there were a number of dance orchestras which played the popular songs of the time with a touch of jazz in order to entertain the audience. Fletcher Henderson was the first musician to perform and record orchestral jazz. He started off by gathering and bringing together a bunch of well known New York based players and formed the very first jazz orchestra.
 
 
Since then, the popularity of the genre has spread throughout the US and other parts of the world. Today most of the major cities from North America, Asia and Europe enjoy the performances by properly trained and formal symphony jazz orchestras. These groups are strongly tied to their city’s art and culture and perform at various occasions throughout the city on a regular basis.
