🙌 Historical moment for the Paradise Theatre Big Band!

Last weekend we had the honor of performing/recording Wynton Marsalis’s “Swing Symphony” side-by-side with the detroitsymphony for three incredible performances. I am incredibly proud of each member of the big band, orchestra, and all of the staff and adminstration who made this event possible. Major thanks to Maestro Bignamini, Wynton Marsalis, Erik Rönmark, Blanton Alspaugh and the entire Soundmirror team, every musician on stage, and to our beautiful audience.

I love this for our city and look forward to the bright future of the Paradise Theatre Big Band!
