Berkshire Jazz Orchestra concert
The Berkshire Jazz Orchestra is a 17-piece ensemble based in Fairfield County, CT, whose history dates from 1987. The band includes many professional musicians and music educators with great skill and amazing creative solo abilities, who believe in keeping the big band genre fresh and alive.
The orchestra presents big band repertoire from classic swing bands such as Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie, as well as music from more contemporary groups. Their vocalist, Jan Maki, performs classic songs from the American Song Book made popular by Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Bette Midler, Natalie Cole, and other artists.
The Berkshire Jazz Orchestra will bring a smile to your face and get your feet tapping with music to "knock your socks off!"
