Ray Brown's Great Big Band

Ray Brown's Great Big Band returns to the Cabrillo College Crocker Theater to celebrate its 25th year of extraordinary big band Jazz. The band possesses a unique musical personality as evidenced by its book, written exclusively by Ray. As noted by numerous reviewers, his creative and witty arrangements of Standards, Jazz tunes, and his own compositions give literally all the players ample time to solo. Truly a Jazz band, The Great Big Band has sold out its 25 years of performances on Kuumbwa's Monday night series. The band's most recent CD, Kayak, is available through cdbaby.com.
