Big Band Music. We all know the sound. But do we know how these groups achieve it? What is the difference between Big Band and any other band? What makes them unique, other than the sound itself? Below I’ll provide some great listening, but first, I found a simple, quick primer that answers these, and other, questions, if you are also interested in the answers: Big Band Music: A Guide to Big Band’s History and Sound
One of my favorite memories of times with my bestie is when we would listen to music. There are 2 genres that we would spend hours listening to: barbershop, and big band. I’ve already covered the one (March 13), and before I run out of days this month I wanted to share a bit about the other. We can read about it but when it comes to music, nothing tells the story better than listening! So here are some video channels for big band music; following I will share a few streaming radio links – and here we go!
