SUMMARY:Maria Schneider Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:“breathtaking\, full of inspired composition and musicianship.” – DownBeat\n  \nMaria Schneider’s music has been described as “evocative\, majestic\, heart-stoppingly gorgeous\, epic and beyond categorization.” Blurring the boundaries between jazz and classical traditions\, she is among the few artists to receive Grammy Awards in multiple genres. She has received honors in jazz and classical categories\, as well as for her work with David Bowie. \nSince her debut recording\, 1994’s Evanescence\, Schneider has developed a distinctive compositional language for her 18-member orchestra. She writes specifically for the individualistic voices within the ensemble. The group has performed worldwide\, and Schneider has guest-conducted more than ninety ensembles across thirty countries. \nHer most recent project\, 2026’s American Crow\, expands her work into a cinematic dimension. Released as both a music video and EP\, the piece pairs sweeping orchestration with striking visual imagery. Schneider uses jazz to illustrate the art of listening\, a practice she feels could help heal our fractured cultural landscape. The work continues her group’s exploration of collective listening and the emotional power of large-ensemble storytelling. \nSchneider’s double album\, 2020’s Data Lords was a Pulitzer Prize Finalist and won two Grammy Awards. It was named Jazz Album of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association and NPR and received France’s Grand Prix de l’Académie du Jazz. The project fused her artistic vision with her longstanding advocacy around technology and culture. As NPR’s Nate Chinen wrote\, it “amounts to the most daring work of Schneider’s career.” \nHer honors include fourteen Grammy nominations and seven Grammy Awards\, and designation as an NEA Jazz Master. She has also been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, and received the ASCAP Concert Music Award. \nRecommended for fans of Toshiko Akiyoshi\, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra\, Terence Blanchard and Carla Bley.

SUMMARY:Los Lobos
DESCRIPTION:“one of the hottest live acts on the planet” – BBC\n  \nIt’s a matter of time. Fifty years to be exact. And in that time Los Lobos have created an unprecedented body of work\, a legacy of greatness. The numbers are staggering: 100+ gigs a year for five decades running\, crossing millions of miles to rock millions of fans. And that’s just at the live shows. \nThey’ve also recorded seventeen studio albums\, seven live LPs\, three compilations\, two EPs\, two DVDs\, and contributed over forty guest appearances on their friends’ recordings. They have garnered five Grammys\, an Austin City Limits Hall of Fame induction and the ALMA Ritchie Valens Pioneer Award. \nBut beyond all the hoopla and applause (and the source of it all\, really) is the tremendous heart. Rather\, hearts. Cinco corazones. Five blood brothers who have dedicated their off-stage time to helping others\, working for peace and justice. Further\, they’ve penned some of the most literate and important music of their time. They transform the hard cries from the East L.A. barrio into songs of hope\, tales of common folk finding ways to endure. \nThe young wolves were weaned on late-night radio’s soul\, R&B\, and doo-wop. Were cured through the African-American currents of the blues\, jazz\, and rock ‘n’ roll. An amalgam. As proud Chicanos\, their songs have always glistened with the distillation from their Mexican and Latin American roots. \nQuite simply\, they are one of the tightest\, one of the best\, one of the most prolific bands ever. And\, amazingly\, with the original founding members as the pack the entire time. Unprecedented. As their liner notes put it\, quite simply: “Los Lobos still are David Hidalgo\, Louie Pérez\, Jr.\, Cesar Rosas\, Conrad Lozano\, Steve Berlin.” \n📸: Piero F. Giunti \nRecommended for fans of Alejandro Escovedo\, Roy Orbison\, Ritchie Valens and Elvis Presley.
