Claude Thornhill
Claude Thornhill was a pianist, composer, and bandleader known for his innovative approach to big band jazz. Born in 1908, Thornhill developed a lush, orchestral sound that influenced the "cool jazz" movement, with arrangements that emphasized warm harmonies and restrained dynamics. His band, which featured future jazz greats like Gil Evans, was known for its dreamy, atmospheric style—best exemplified by the signature tune "Snowfall." Thornhill’s music blended swing with classical elements, pushing the boundaries of traditional big band jazz and leaving a lasting impression on the genre.
