Big Band

Speaks for itself really, but a Big Band can be a number of things. Big, bold and brassy, or laid back, sophisticated and smooth, or anything in between. Big Band jazz originated in the 30s by artists such as Glenn Miller, Count Basie and Duke Ellington but has progressed through each age to reflect the times, the developments in music, and society as a whole. Most Big Bands play a mix of instrumental and vocal repertoire and will usually include swing, ballads, Latin and funkier tunes, all in that inimitable style, depth and power that can only be achieved with a large group.
