These are some 2024 big band/orchestral jazz releases that I won't get a chance to do a complete post on. Some are well-known jazz names. Generally less boisterous than my favorites, but might be right-up-your-alley, as they say. All are definitely worth a listen. 🎷
The goal is to at least mention all ~108 albums (hours) on Big Band 2024 at Spotify/JazzTodayish.
