SPECIAL PROJECT
Arrangers Maarten and Harm have written charts to specifically accomodate a small sized big band.Combining original compositions with some standards and personal favorites, this band tries to find ways to get the sounds of the big band era up to date in an age when large bands are harder to maintain.
This band is highly recommended whenever there's a need for the tone colors of a big band, but when the size of the stage or the budget doesn't allow for a full size big band.
The music is danceable, hummable, enjoyable, familiar yet fresh. Check it out!
