By definition Big Band is a band
that is larger than a combo and that usually features
a mixture of ensemble playing and solo improvisation
typical of jazz or swing, however Big Band is so much
more! Come and discover the rich history of the Big
Band Era at the Sally Bennett Big Band Hall of Fame
Museum.
