Welcome to the Bandstand
SwingBig.Band now has a home for the details that usually disappear after rehearsal: the section notes, gig announcements, set-list changes, listening references, and stories that make a big band feel alive.
The blog will carry short posts first. Expect rehearsal takeaways, notes on charts entering the book, player features, and quick recaps after public sets.
This Week's Focus
- Lock the brass backgrounds behind the vocal feature.
- Keep the sax soli buoyant rather than heavy.
- Give the rhythm section space before the last shout chorus.
