Saint Louis Big Band
The Saint Louis Big Band is an orchestral formation that fully respects the classical structure of the big band or 5 trumpets, 5 saxophones, 4 trombones, rhythm section and voices.
The repertoire of the ensemble, of a jazz type, touches on most of the expressions and changes that have characterized African-American music since the beginning of the last century, proposing some of the most beautiful pages of orchestral jazz literature (Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie) and the elaborations of contemporary arrangers from the American area (Sammy Nestico, Don Sebesky, Bob Mintzer).
The Saint Louis Big Band, from 2007 to today, has collaborated with numerous internationally renowned artists, including Kurt Elling, Peppe Servillo, GegeÌ Telesforo, Rosario Giuliani, Daniele Scannapieco, Marcello Rosa, Javier Girotto, Richard De Rosa.
