Loren Schoenberg and His Jazz Orchestra - So Many Memories

In a rare convergence of history, artistry, and discovery, saxophonist, bandleader, and scholar Loren Schoenberg leads a powerhouse big band in a recording unlike any other: the long-lost Eddie Sauter arrangements for Red Norvo, performed at Juilliard. These remarkable scores, originally crafted for vibraphonist Red Norvo in the late swing and early modernist eras, had never been documented on record. Dormant on paper for decades, the charts reveal Sauter’s singular imagination—his daring harmonies, unexpected voicings, and forward-looking rhythmic ideas that helped to push jazz arranging into new territory during the 1930s and 1940s.
