Symphonies That Swing

Fishko Files | Jun 20, 2018

In honor of summer, the season for great outdoor music of many kinds, this archival Fishko Files considers the combined forces of jazz and classical musicians, and their efforts - dating back to almost the moment jazz appeared - to make harmonious combinations of both styles. (Produced in 2010 on the occasion of the debut of "Swing Symphony" by Wynton Marsalis)
