The Danjo Jazz Orchestra takes you on a musical trip through the history of big band jazz with their "Evolution of the Big Band" show! Beginning with charts from legendary bandleaders Duke Ellington & Count Basie, the setlist chronologically follows the steady development of big band jazz through the latter half of the 20th century, concluding with monumental works from the great Bob Brookmeyer & Kenny Wheeler. We'll also feature vocalist Ian Crouse on a few vocal charts throughout!
With a unique blend of big band classics and dazzling original arrangements, the 17-piece Danjo Jazz Orchestra has entertained audiences across Northeast Ohio for over 10 years. Originally founded by bassist Dan Angotti in May of 2010, the band is now directed by Cleveland native trombonist, composer, and arranger Andrew Wegierski. Under Andrew’s leadership, the Danjo Jazz Orchestra has held a monthly residency at Jilly’s Music Room, one of the top live music venues in Akron, since August 2019*. The band also frequently performs in downtown Kent, namely at the Venice Cafe, Water Street Tavern, and at the Home Heritage Concert Series.
On May 7th, 2020, the Danjo Jazz Orchestra soared to new heights with the release of a brand new EP, entitled Danjo. The recording showcases the band’s versatility of big band styles, including selections from the Buddy Rich Big Band, Maynard Ferguson, and Count Basie Orchestra. The unique compositional voice of bandleader Andrew Wegierski is also featured in the laid-back latin chart, “Spoon Bag.” Danjo is available on all major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and more.
Today, the band continues to forge onward as a distinct musical voice in the local jazz scene. With an ever-expanding musical library, the Danjo Jazz Orchestra’s mission is to push the boundaries of the modern big band, while also maintaining the legacy of the greatest bands that truly established the big band tradition.
