The Saddleback Big Band is a standard size big band that explores wide
stylistic territory. From the great Swing Era music of Earl Fatha Hines, Duke
Ellington, Fletcher Henderson through the exotic voyages of Sun Ra, the rich
textures of Gil Evans to music penned moments prior to performance, this
engaging ensemble always thrills. Most concerts feature a world premier
combined with music of swinging historical importance. Guest artists have
included Bill Holman, Ron Stout, James Moody, Jerry Pinter, Tony Malaby, Mark
Helias, and Roberta Piket among others. Though the Big Band enjoys playing at
its home in the beautiful McKinney Theatre at Saddleback College, they are also
frequently the featured ensemble at jazz festivals and jazz venues throughout
the Southland.
