Big Bands of Today.


Hi not too many big bands are now, but want to mention I do enjoy a lot the following:
Microscoopic Septet;
Carla Bley big band;
Sun Ra;
Roy Hargrove big band.

Most of them post-bop and/or free jazz.

Please chip in with your recommendations

Some really good choices already!

Joe Sullivan Big Band out of Canada, has very interesting music.

Another large ensemble that is fun is the Phil Norman Tenet.
I think Mintzer is still with us; either that or someone has not updated Wikipedia and other sites. Truly hope it is the former! I also forgot to mention Phil Kelly and Northwest Prevailing Winds as well as the Santa Ana Winds Big Bands. Great stuff all around!
@Zephyr24069, I wrote that incorrectly as it appears to refer to Mintzer. Gerald Wilson is the one who has passed. My apologies.
