Big Bands are still around and playing but come with a cost. Many clients like the Big Band sound but need to fit within a budget. Many party organizers are now asking for a Big Band sound that is similar to the traditional Big Band sound but with less musicians. And of course with a budget in mind. The samples below are from past engagements where we used what is called a "Little Big Band" around twelve musicians and vocalist. Some Big Band standards, some rock and some Latin. The Toronto Jazz Trio would normally perform quiet dinner music, to be joined by a larger group for dancing or to add to the theme of the evening.
