Staff reports | Vocalist Zandrina Dunning will join the Charleston Jazz Orchestra (CJO) led by Maestro Robert Lewis for two Dec. 4 concerts guaranteed to put you in the holiday spirit. It’s a Charleston Jazz tradition with big band arrangements of winter classics and holiday favorites such as “Winter Wonderland,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Sleigh Bells.”
In three shows this month called “Symphonic Swing: Jazz Meets the Classics,” the Charleston Jazz Orchestra will bring the world of improvisation and swing to notable classical compositions, bridging the gap, bending the genres, and introducing the styles of Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and Billie Holiday to Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Beethoven.
