My all-time favorite big band, that I’ve played in, is the Microsoft Jumpin’ Jive Orchestra. Here is a slow number to dance to with your sweetie.

Made up of hobbyist musicians, backed up by some ringers, this band is just a joy to play with. I often say that I’m the weakest player in this band, and isn’t that a wonderful place to be. This band is part of my Washington state non-profit, the Dissonance.

That’s Bill Sheehan doing the trumpet solo honors. Our esteemed director is Ray Guyll. Enjoy…
