The Early Days
|
|
Because of the
belief that there is an appreciative audience out there for the great
songs of the big bands that rocked the dance halls in the 30’s, 40’s and
50’s, and with desire and determination, the
Jump-Start
BIG BAND
was created. The total big band has been in existence for more than seven years, but the dream started with 4 sax players more than nine years ago. They diligently practiced in a hot, top floor music room at the home of one of the musicians. As the big band resurgence took hold, more musicians came out of the woodwork, so to speak, to create the big sounding group in existence today. They now rehearse in a large, modern auditorium. A big band is only as good as its charts and musicians. The Jump-Start BIG BAND charts are the original versions of the greats of the era: Harry James’ SLEEPY LAGOON, Artie Shaw’s BEGIN THE BEGUINE, Glen Miller’s IN THE MOOD and hundreds MORE!! Our musicians have played on Broadway, in Vegas on Channel 13 and cable, at Carnegie Hall, and at nightclubs around the country. The Jump-Start BIG BAND has top-notch musicians, the best charts, and a great love and respect for the music of the big band era. |
