About SwingBig.Band

SwingBig.Band is a blog-first website for a jazz big band: a place to publish dates, rehearsal notes, listening notes, chart updates, and stories from the players.

The Sound

The band sits in the pocket between dance-hall swing and modern concert-band polish. The rhythm section keeps the room moving, the brass brings the lift, and the saxes carry the line when the chart opens up.
