The
World's Smallest Big Band
The World's Smallest Big Band is a
compact and affordable group that gets a big band sound with just two
horns.
The
band starts as a quartet -
trumpet, sax and drums with
Ted Knight's keyboard and vocals.
Options include bass, guitar, and
additional vocalists. Music is played by real
instruments without recorded backgrounds.
The repertoire starts with jazz and
standards but can include as much pop and rock
as needed.
The band plays the same arrangements as Ted's
orchestra, scaled for two
horns instead of four. See the song list and hear demos.
