I saw Lionel Hampton, I don't think that qualifies as big band, but he was still excellent.

There is a local big band that played at my SIL's wedding. They played all the greats and they were wonderful. I would have loved to live during the big band era. I played in a jazz band and that was fun. It's real music.

It's real music! You bet. And, the 'teamwork' within each band was truely AWESOME!!
CommUNITY music that 'expressed' a national common sense with a personal commitment of living the 'good life' by sharing that 'good life' with others.
