Jared Schonig - Big Band: Live at Dizzy's (Live) (2026) [Hi-Res]

American jazz drummer and composer Jared Schonig released his live album Jared Schonig BIG BAND – Live at Dizzy's on Anzic Records. Recorded during sold-out performances at Dizzy's Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, the record marks Jared Schonig's first live album as a big band leader. The project features original compositions arranged by leading figures in contemporary big band music, including Mike Holober, Miho Hazama, John Daversa, Alan Ferber, Jim McNeely, and Laurence Hobgood.

The ensemble highlights top-tier talent from the New York jazz scene, featuring bassist Matt Clohesy, pianist David Cook, trumpeters Tony Kadleck, Scott Wendholt, and Terell Stafford, trombonist Mike Davis, saxophonists Jason Rigby, Andrew Gould, and John Ellis, as well as guest vocalist Nicole Zuraitis. The repertoire bridges established compositions by Jared Schonig ("Sound Evidence", "White Out", "Climb", "Sabotage") with new works ("Jiggle Jaggle", "Eight Twenty", "Canyons"), blending elements of swing, post-bop, funk, and intricate orchestral jazz arranging.
