My Project

Nearly a century has passed since the closure of the big band era, yet the allure of a vocalist accompanied by a full band persists in the hearts of audiences. Icons such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Peggy Lee have cemented their places in the annals of music history. Today, contemporary artists like Michael Bublé, Harry Connick Jr., and Lady Gaga continue to captivate audiences with the same timeless style.

Our jazz band takes pride in supporting jazz vocalists, and diversifying our repertoire is essential to our mission.

To this end, we propose acquiring a collection of twelve renowned jazz tunes with big band accompaniment. These classics have already withstood the test of time, and it is our intention to keep them shining brightly in the present and future musical landscape.

Mr. Phillips
Grades 9-12
