”The Study of Big Bands”. There have been lots content written about big bands from the fabled Big Band Era. However, the big band has lived through some miraculous periods of time. Some people think the idea and genre of the big band are ”dead”. I totally disagree. In my area of the country there areover 30 big bands that are involved with schools, communities and that play professionally. Let’s talk about how it all affects the music world!

Time to go back and get low. This week we work on "Building The Big Band" by talking about the roles of the bottom dwellers in the horn section...the baritone sax and bass trombone.
These players share the same range but come from different families. Their job is to create a tonal foundation for the band, lock in with the bass player and make sure they are supporting all of the horns.
Chuck McHenry (Baritone Sax of the SAO) joins me to talk about his thought process of having to lock it in and lay it down with the Bass Bone
Coming up this Monday.
