Founded in 1990 with a special designation from U.S. Congress, the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra (SJMO) recognizes that jazz is not only important to our country's culture, it is a national treasure.
If you love Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman or Dizzy Gillespie, you'll appreciate how SJMO recreates big band jazz the way its composers and arrangers originally intended.
SJMO serves as orchestra-in-residence at the National Museum of American History and offers its own radio series, "Jazz Smithsonian," heard on public radio stations across the country and in six nations.
