”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!

In the first episode, host and band leader Eric Dregne talks about his influences of big band music from his childhood in the 70's, to the music he chooses to play during the weekly Monday Night gig in Cleveland Ohio with his band, The Skatch Anderssen Orchestra.

Bill has written some incredible orchestral stuff. Movie themes, incidental music, etc. Thanks to him, Maynard Ferguson shot into the mainstream pop charts with Rocky. Much love to Bill.

That was a full blown 40 piece orchestra with strings. Also, not in the same vein as Basie, Ellington, etc. As far as soul, R&B, Barry was the man for putting that together. 17-20 people is enough for me :-)
