	They are scoring with big-band instrumentation - The Boston Globe
		Both are taking traditional big-band instrumentation to places it's never been before, with compositions that move beyond commonplace horn-section-based big band charts to something closer to classical composition in its range and richness.
		These are largely economic (a 17-piece band obviously costs more to maintain than a quartet), but ignorance also contributes to big bands' falling off the collective radar.
		Schneider notes that she came to big band jazz with a largely classical background.

	Miles Davis \| View the Music Artists Biography Online \| VH1.com
		The band featured trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and saxophonist Charlie Parker, the architects of the emerging bebop style of jazz, which was characterized by fast, inventive soloing and dynamic rhythm variations.
		Davis, meanwhile, had moved on to co-leading a band with pianist Tadd Dameron in 1949, and the group took him out of the country for an appearance at the Paris Jazz Festival in May. But the trumpeter's progress was impeded by an addiction to heroin that plagued him in the early '50s.
		Davis surprised jazz fans when, on July 8, 1991, he joined an orchestra led by Quincy Jones at the Montreux Jazz Festival to perform some of the arrangements written for him in the late '50s by Gil Evans; he had never previously looked back at an aspect of his career.
