Big Band

Those were the days. Relive the peak of the big band era. You’ll find them in all their swinging majesty, the big orchestra and arrangements that made music exciting: Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Henry James, Arite Shaw and more. Expect to also be treated to an complementary assortment of early forms of jazz.
