My Big Band
CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO HEAR THE BAND PLAY
Hire my Big Band for your next affair!!
How about a Big Band Wedding?
3 Trumpets, 3 Trombones, 5 Saxes, Rhythm and Vocalist.
An ordinary Big Band plays mostly Swings, Foxtrots and Ballads, because that's what most of the classic Big Bands such as Duke Ellington, Glen Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, etc., played.
Besides all the standard Big Band Swing music, my Big Band plays all the Ballroom Dance Rhythms in strict and steady tempo! (See chart below)
