    Miho Hazama, Simon Jermyn, Dan Rosenboom, Deadeye & More

    Large ensembles are the guiding thread of this segment, approached not as monuments but as flexible, expressive forces shaped by strong compositional voices. From a landmark Sonny Criss reissue with arrangements by Horace Tapscott to Miho Hazama’s stunning reimagining of Thad Jones’ legacy, Dan Rosenboom’s genre-blurring large-ensemble work, and a freshly restored, richly orchestrated album by Carlos Garnett. Along the way—offering contrast without breaking the flow—intensity is reframed through Deadeye’s latest album and Simon Jermyn’s two recent projects. The playlist features Sonny Criss; Miho Hazama [pictured], Danish Radio Big Band, Danish National Symphony Orchestra; Dan Rosenboom; Deadeye; Simon Jermyn; Luke Marantz; and Carlos Garnett.
