 Jazzmatazz Review - Allegresse - Maria Schneider
Maria Schneider has just released a new album, Allégresse, performed by her nineteen-piece orchestra.
Schneider studied composition at several schools and with composers Bob Brookmeyer and Gil Evans.
The influence of Gil Evans is especially evident in her interest in and use of orchestral colors and textures (although her compositions are definitely in her own style.) Part of the way she changes the tonal colors is through shifting combinations of instruments.

 village voice > music > Maria Schneider's Concert in the Garden by Francis Davis
Maria Schneider's orchestra is her only instrument, which in addition to making Schneider something of a curiosity means it's big band or nothing for her.
Given Schneider's tinkering with such dance forms as choro and flamenco—along with an "imaginary foxtrot" more evocative of Brazil than of Fred and Ginger—it's tempting to describe this as her Latin album.
La Conja's crisp handclaps and precise body language emboldened Schneider's rhythms and made them more vivid, though the trade-off was reducing the musicians to onlookers for a short stretch.

 CSW Activities, Columbus 2002
Hang Gliding is an exemplary work by Maria Schneider, one of today's most skillful and successful jazz composers working in the big band idiom.
In Wyrgly (1989) Schneider ingeniously juxtaposes and overlays two musical streams to portray the "metamorphosis" of a monster "from a mesmerizing vapor to an embodiment characterized by a dramatic display of multiple flailing limbs." These two distinct "embodiments" have contrasting melodic themes, harmonic structures and voicings, and grooves.
In composing Wyrgly, Schneider began from the middle and worked outward, using a tone row, or cycle, derived from the central melody to generate many of her ideas.

The film is still shocking, not simply because of its (sometime unconventional) sexual sequences, but because Brando's protagonist needs his liaison with Schneider's character to remain anonymous, an experience not to be shared but indulged on either end.
I mention the dialogue, because it must have imprinted itself in my memory: I had not seen the movie since I went to see it (and immediately see it again) in a threatre when it was released, but I remembered long patches of words, particularly the soliloquies, almost as if I had memorized them.
Brando and Schneider are going at each other like two wounded animals passing the time and yelling their hurt at one another.
