ghost of miles Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Big bands do not have to be always loud. In fact the best of them are capable of producing a wide range of dynamic nuances. I know, that's what I am looking for. I haven't found any yet. Have you listened to the Mulligan Concert Jazz Band yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I only have Buddy Rich and Bob florence records as far as big band goes, and the only other big band I really heared was Mel Lewis's Big Band.
