The Akron Big Band
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 6 พ.ย. 2022
The Akron Big Band has been playing historical "pop" music since the 1950s in the greater Northeast Ohio region. We've played at weddings, corporate events, banquets, non-profit galas and community festivals and functions. Our musical literature spans classic big band music from the 1920s through the 1940s and a mixture of instrumental pop and jazz music from the 1950s onward.

The Akron Big Band - All or Nothing At All - May 2023
At times, it sounds like we are hearing sound from more than one source, and not quite synced up. There’s plenty of rhythmic ambiguity throughout the band (playing too loudly to listen to the other players, and forgetting to keep the mind focused on the next upcoming subdivision of the beat, will do that), but the sound itself is weird besides.
Go 'bones!
Wow, NICE !!!
I would respectfully suggest being a little more selective about which performances get posted publicly. This one’s pretty rough. The band can do better.
Love the trumpet solo !
Excellence ❤
