Step back in time to the Big Band Era with Big City Orchestra. Sway to the elegant arrangements reminiscent of Count Basie, Glen Miller, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington and Tommy Dorsey complete with melodic male and female vocalists and a full horn section featuring 6 horns. Behind Art Deco bandstands, wearing white dinner jackets and black ties, the Big City Orchestra is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the ear.
With one quick transformation, Big City Orchestra leaps forward into the modern day as Big City Revue Party Band churning out the dancable favorites of the past four decades.
