The large jazz ensemble, or big band, has a prominent place in the history of jazz. Some of the most dynamic personalities of jazz—Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Stan Kenton, Maynard Ferguson, Gil Evans, and Thad Jones— were leaders of large jazz ensembles. Their bands were instantly recognizable by the unique musical personalities of the arrangers and composers who wrote for them. | _ BERKLEE PRESS Berklee Press Berklee Media Senior Writer/Editor: Jonathan Feist Writer/Editor: Susan Gedutis Production Manager: Shawn Girsberger Product Marketing Manager: David Goldberg Associate Vice President: Dave Kusek Director of Content: Debbie Cavalier Marketing Manager: Jennifer Rassler Senior Graphic Designer: David Ehlers ISBN □-ЬЗЧ-ОЗЬБЬ-Ч DISTRIBUTED y B lerkee iress 1140 Boylston Street Boston, MA 02215-3693 USA (617) 747-2146 H a l *L e o n a r d ® C O R P O R A T I O N 7777 W.
