Chuck Israels National Jazz Ensemble - King Porter Stomp - soloist Arnie Lawrence (alto sax)

King Porter Stomp (Jelly Roll Morton)
Arr. Gil Evans. Orchestration, Chuck Israels
soloist: Arnie Lawrence

In its four-year life in the mid-1970s, the National Jazz Ensemble under Chuck Israels' direction helped set the standards for jazz repertory orchestras. The American Jazz Orchestra of the '80s, the Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall companies, the Chicago and Seattle repertory organizations of today, all owe much to the NJE and to the New York Jazz Repertory Ensemble, which existed for a short time in the '70s.
