Juilliard Jazz Orchestra by Rachel Papo

The Juilliard Jazz Orchestra explores long-form jazz pieces, including Chico O’Farrill's Second Afro-Cuban Jazz Suite. The concert also features works by Woody Herman, Duke Ellington, and Gerry Mulligan. Arturo “Chico” O’Farrill was born in Cuba in 1921; was a chief composer, arranger, and conductor of the Machito Orchestra; and wrote music for Benny Goodman, Count Basie, and Dizzy Gillespie. Along with Mario Bauza and Gillespie, O’Farrill helped bring together jazz music with Latin rhythms and dances from the Caribbean.
