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

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.
