about

Legendary composer Leonard Bernstein once called jazz
“the ultimate common denominator of the American musical
style.” The music made a profound impact on Bernstein’s
work, not only in the more explicit “jazziness” of his work in
musical theater, but throughout his “serious” orchestral music
as well. Jazz artists in turn felt the influence of Bernstein’s
innovations, with interpretations of his work recorded by
such icons as Bill Evans, Dave Brubeck, Oscar Peterson,
Wes Montgomery, Wayne Shorter and countless others.
With the stunning new album Bernstein Reimagined, the
Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra mines the composer’s
vast repertoire for a vibrantly diverse new set of music that
delves into pieces rarely if ever performed in a jazz context.
Due out January 29, 2021 via MCG Jazz, this dazzling music
was originally commissioned as part of the worldwide
celebration of Bernstein’s centennial year in 2018.
