Günther Schuller
Günther Schuller (1925-2015) was a prominent American composer, conductor, and musicologist known for his contributions to both classical and jazz music. He played a pivotal role in bridging the gap between these two genres, particularly through his work on the development of jazz during the Swing Era. Schuller was a key figure in the Third Stream movement, which sought to blend jazz improvisation with classical forms. His influential writings and compositions, including the notable book 'The Swing Era: The Development of Jazz, 1930-1945', have helped shape the understanding and appreciation of jazz as a serious art form.
