The Ovation Orchestra – great Big Band. If you want traditional big band with a few pop ballad from the 60-s, 70’s and 80’s I would suggest Ovation.
They appeal to an older crowd or to folks who truly love Big Band. Great arrangements and players add up to wonderful night of reliving the glorious past of the Dorsey Brothers, Glenn Miller, Harry James and of course, Duke Ellington, just to name a few. Wonderful vocal stylings of June Roy. Also there is an 8 piece version for smaller events.
