Immediately after arriving at the "Big Apple" is in contact with Bob Brookmeyer to study in depth musical composition. Simultaneously Gil Evans hires her to assist him. In this sense the role of Maria was notable in the composition of the soundtrack of the movie "The Color of Money" and prepared for the tour that Gil Evans made with the musician Sting in 1987.
During those years he also directed the music's own Evans, and collaborated on musical works of Jon Faddis, Wallace Roney, Miles Evans or David Saborna. The Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra was created as such in 1993, with concerts in the "Visions" of the New York borough of Greenwich Village. In this room she and her band will be playing every Monday night for five consecutive years. These actions serve as "showcase" and then receives multiple offers for contracts and invitations to participate in various jazz festivals and concert halls in Europe, Brazil and Macao. Similarly, Mary, receives multiple offers to direct and perform his music with orchestras across America and Europe. She visits various countries such as Italy, Portugal, France, Scandinavia, Central Europe, Australia, Canada, etc, and also in their own country.
The composer begins to receive commissions for compositions and arrangements of various musicians and institutions like the Nortbotten Big Band and Radio Orchestra of Denmark. Work with Toot Thielemans, and receives commissions for compositions by prestigious orchestras such as the Stuttgart Jazz Orchestra, the Orchestre National de Jazz in France, Monterey, University of Miami, or the well-known New York, Lincoln Center. At this time Maria received an award for his musical composition for a work of ballet by Doris Duke, the composition is called "Dossolution" and was represented by the group Pilobolus at the Festival Ballet Kennedy Center. The management and interpretation was made by Maria with his orchestra. He subsequently participated in the preparation of multiple arrangements of music for Ivan Lins, Toots Thielemans, and the Radio Orchestra of Denmark, specifically for the tour that the orchestra performed in the year 2003.
In 2004, she and her band are a series of four concerts at Hunter College. Of the Centre receives orders from two compositions to be called "Concert in the Garden" and "Blue Sky." "Concert in the Garden" will title his latest CD. This work, which received a Grammy Award, was performed and produced solely by her company's innovative "ArtistShare." The debut recording of Maria's work is produced "Evanescence," nominated for two Grammy awards in 1995. His second and third albums were "Comin'About" and "Allégrese." With them was awarded the Grammy for "Best Composer" and the best "Big Band". Also has received numerous awards and critical readers of magazines such as "Downbeat" and "JazzTimes."
"Allégrese" remained for a long time in the "top ten" of 2000 journal "Time" and "Billboard" respectively, with the result that the work was not framed in specific musical category. Recently, "Concert in the Garden" has received a Grammy Award in 2005, and given the particularity that is the first album sold outside the conventional distribution channels, not having come to be sold in stores and being a limited print run . The medium has been used exclusively by mail and Internet, but, as of the date, all issues in support physically exhausted (series gold, silver and bronze).
Given the philosophy that this distribution system and sell it, which is none other that the benefits produced cover the expenses and the money is only for musicians (she and her orchestra) the idea has been much interest among musicians, they see a way to put their works on the market outside the circles of the great music industry, which carry the vast majority of the "pie" of benefits that the work can produce. The result of this experience is encouraging, especially for the consumer who looks like the product sold directly by the author, lowers the final price of the disc.
jazz fans in Spain await with interest and patience, the day when Mary visit our country for the first time. This biography was made possible by the invaluable help of my friend, Gabriel Bienzobas and his wife who have translated the text, drawn mostly from the website of Maria Schneider.
