Saxophones/Big Band

About the job

posted this job on 05/09/08

This is a unique opportunity to play with a full 18 piece Dance band. We play mostly original charts from the big band era, including original charts from Frank Sinatra, Stan Kenton, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, and an exclusive arranger who writes and transposes many other hits for us.

However, this band is not for everyone, as we are looking for musicians that love the big band era music, and don't mind playing throughout the year at nursery homes who pay us enough for travel and cleaning expenses, whom we remain devoted to because they are ones responsible for the majority of our work in the past, but we also obtain good paying gigs; weddings, anniversaries, graduations, and special functions. We are the busiest big band in Westchester County and in these hard times, that's saying a lot, and if you love to play with us, give me a . We have at least 2 to 3 empty chairs for trombone as permanent players, and alternate saxophone chairs (Tenor, baritone) who can make rehearsals once a week at the Atria in Ossenning NY, on route 9, off 9A north.... 45 mins from the Bronx, less from with-in Westchester. We are not in a position to pay for rehearsals, and everyone receives equal pay, but if you contract a gig you will receive a higher rate of pay for the gig. The band is governed by a committee, with an appointed leader, and band director. So if your interested, try us out, we're very laid back kind of guys and dolls...
