| Tadd Dameron, c. 1946-48 (Bill Gottlieb/LoC) |
Jazz has improvisation at its core, true, but ignoring composition and arranging would be a gross oversimplification and a mis-representation of the music. One of the great composers in its great tradition was Tadd Dameron, born on a day like this in 1917.
This is just a random sample of his compositions.
