”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.

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!

As a lead player the bassist is my best friend...lays down the time, drives the band and harmony, and frees the drummer to play stylistically and punch the horn figures. Great podcast!
