Strictly Smokin' Big Band's Time After Time
With our full 18-piece big band, we tell the story of jazz, swing, and big band history from its inception to the present day, showcasing music by some of the most popular, groundbreaking and adventurous musicians in history.
The development of big band jazz was not an easy journey—its story is fraught with racial inequality, gender stereotyping, and harsh realities. However, the music that was created lives on as a testament to those who helped forge it, and remains just as relevant today as ever.
From the cotton plantations of the Deep South to blockbuster film soundtracks – big bands have survived everything from financial depressions, world wars, pop-mania, and technological advances.
Time After Time shines a spotlight on jazz’s most iconic names and will bring you all the way to the big band music of 2025…
