Concert in the Garden is the fourth studio album by American jazz composer Maria Schneider.

[3] In 2019, the album was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

The delay has been attributed to the financial difficulty of recording with large groups, which are required for the music that Schneider writes.

[5] The Penguin Guide to Jazz gave the album a maximum four stars and added it to the book's Core Collection.

In its citation, the Library of Congress stated that, alongside its musical merits, Concert in the Garden's release on ArtistShare, the first ever commercial crowdfunding website (the album was the site's first fan-funded project), as well as becoming the first-ever Grammy-winning album to be sold on the Internet instead of in stores, marked it as a trailblazer in music distribution, opening the door for ways "to respond to fan-driven demand for styles of music not otherwise readily available, while offering artists greater control over their work.
