Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra

This is the Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra. They are considered by many to be one of the greater jazz orchestra's playing in New York currently. You'll notice how lush and melodic the music is. Also a huge influence of Brazilian music can be heard. Check out the accordion.





These lush sounds, can be incorporated in to worship music to create a transcendent sound that could potentially blur the notion of "typical" worship music.

Note: Saxophone soloist, is my favorite saxophonist. He constantly plays melodies and follows them wherever they take him. Half the time he shoots for the "wrong" notes and disregards chord changes. How is that possible?
