One evening. Celebrate the centennial birthdays of saxophone icon Stan Getz and Brazilian composer Antônio Carlos Jobim — two artists whose singular genius and historic collaboration transformed jazz forever. From the blazing swing of “Four Brothers” to the timeless elegance of “The Girl from Ipanema” and “Corcovado,” the Charleston Jazz Orchestra captures the warmth, improvisation, and irresistible rhythms that made Bossa Nova a global phenomenon.

Getz began studying saxophone at 13 and debuted professionally at 15. His breakthrough came in 1947 as one of Woody Herman’s “Four Brothers,” who specialized in cool-toned modern jazz. In the 1950s, Getz led quartets and quintets. After living in Europe from 1958 to 1961, Getz ushered in the bossa nova era in 1962 after teaming up with guitarist Charlie Byrd to record Jazz Samba, which included their hit recording of “Desafinado.” He collaborated with Brazilian musicians on the album Getz/Gilberto (1963), which became one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time and included the hit song “The Girl from Ipanema”.

Also known as “Tom,” Jobim began playing piano at 14 and was inspired by Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos. Initially not wanting to pursue music, he became disenchanted with architecture and devoted himself to music. In 1958, Jobim collaborated with singer-guitarist João Gilberto, and their song “Chega de Saudade” (also known as “No More Blues”) became the first bossa nova single. Jobim collaborated on many albums, such as Getz/Gilberto (1963) and Frank Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim (1967). Some of his popular songs include “One-Note Samba,” “Desafinado,” “Meditação,” “Corcovado,” “The Girl from Ipanema,” “Wave,” and “Dindi”.

If you are new to the jazz genre and big band style, take a risk and surprise yourself. Our director Robert Lewis will guide you through the nuances and significance of each piece, sharing stories behind the songs and composers. Many arrangements have been specially created by our own orchestra members and can’t be heard anywhere else in the world. You can get a taste of past performances on our YouTube channel here. When you step through the doors of the Charleston Music Hall you are stepping back in time into a circa 1849 train station, historically known as the Tower Depot. You will hear the iconic sounds of jazz wafting through the lobby, reminiscent of the city’s rich jazz history. Stop by one of the lobby bars on the lower or upper lever to purchase snacks, beer, wine or soft drinks to bring with you into the theatre. Our friendly ushers will greet you and assist you in finding your way to your seats – there’s not a bad seat in the house! Our audience is diverse and you will see patrons of all ages and walks of life, including couples, singles, students, families, and groups of friends – jazz has never met a stranger and all are welcome. Many of our guests are tourists visiting Charleston, and some of our regular attendees have been coming to concerts since the beginning of the organization. We hope that you will become one of our “regulars” as well by joining the Charleston Jazz family by becoming a Season Subscriber, Member, Sponsor, Donor, Student or Advertiser. There is a place for YOU at Charleston Jazz. I have been a season ticket holder since the inception of Charleston Jazz Orchestra for many wonderful reasons. The caliber of performances are spectacular. Their musical selections appeal to all musical tastes regardless of age. The Music Hall is the perfect venue for such a group of phenomenal artists. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lil H., Google Review We love the Charleston Jazz Orchestra!
