3rd (or 1st) of 3 posts about jazz big bands comprised of young musicians. The other 2 are a short scroll below.
The class projects of the University of North Texas College of Music 'One O’Clock Lab Band' (OLB) have 7 Grammy Award nominations since the 1970s,
from a library of >80 critically-acclaimed albums. Their 2024 release is Lab 2024.
"The OLB evolved from an extracurricular stage band founded
in 1927 into a curricular laboratory dance band in 1947 when North Texas
began its jazz degree program.... The OLB is noted for its exceptional individual musicianship and tight ensemble performance.... Among others, the university harbors the Stan Kenton and Maynard Ferguson Jazz Libraries." Wikipedia ; website ; YouTube ; Discogs (incomplete)
