It is hard to believe but over the last three days the Glenn Miller Orchetra and the Harry James Orchestra combined concerts played for close to 10,000 very excited spectators. We played 4 concerts and they were all either sold out or really close to sold out.
For the folks that think big band might be over you should think again. Check out the following bands web-sites: Glenn Miller, Harry James, Count Basie, and Tommy Dorsey just to name a few. All of these bands are gearing up for big tours in 2010 due to popular demand. It is amazing to me how wildly popular big band and jazz music is in Canada and most all of the world outside the US.
After the final concert both bands got together and just had a great time. The Harry James Band went to Vermont today and we headed for Ohio.
Make sure to stay in touch with the Glenn Miller Web Site for our schedule. Please send in any questions or comments you might have for the band or its members.
