FJO: Big Band Hits you never hear

Musical Style: Big Band Jazz

Join The Flatirons Jazz Orchestra - featuring Deborah Stafford, for an all-new show in the "Stories of Standards" series.

Everyone plays “In the Mood” and “Take the A Train” and “Sing Sing Sing.”  But there’s a LOT of great music that was at the top of the Hit Parade back in the day, that you don’t hear today.  Featuring Post WWII music from the great big bands: Basie, Kenton, Ellington, Herman, Goodman, Dorsey, Buddy Rich, and more.
