Spend an evening on the lawn with the music of Stevie Wonder re-invented with a jazz sensibility. The American Jazz Composers Orchestra was born in 2010, the idea of Tim Ishii, Dan Cavanagh and Ken Edwards, who are all jazz professors at the University of Texas at Arlington. Made up of DFW musicians, AJCO is dedicated to promoting and documenting new works for large jazz ensembles created by American composers. Focusing primarily on living composers, the group accomplishes its mission through performances, recordings, commissions, artist residencies, partnerships and educational outreach.
