Bob and Dave have the thread on the High Efficiency Forum. Good stuff.
My son plays high school Band/Jazz/Wind Ensemble but I don't see any of the swing bands represented as of yet. Mostly eclectic stuff although this year in the jazz band they are doing one Count Basie a Miles Davis off of Kind of Blue arranged for band and Green Onions from, I think Ramsey Lewis??
I think the big band is too expensive to promote. I know Charlie Haden dissolved the Liberation Orchestra due to transportation costs.Ever listen to Fela Anikipulta Kuti? Man that was a big band. over one hundred members.
It would be nice if the powers that be could re-surrect the concerts in the park where local talent used to perform in large bands. Insurance costs killed that one.
Like the insurance companies are destroying everything of value and blaming lawsuits as a bogus excuse for their rapacious habits.
