jim bulandaEnjoy an afternoon of Big Band music of the 20s, 30s and 40s. These tunes are the sound of American culture throughout the eras, including some of the greatest love songs on the charts.

From the crooning of Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack to the unforgettable sounds from radio days and ballroom orchestra showrooms of yesteryear, the audience will enjoy the return of this concert favorite.

The afternoon includes a salute to great band leaders of yesteryear – Duke Ellington, Desi Arnaz, Count Basie, Harry James, Artie Shaw, Guy Lombardo, Lawrence Welk, Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller. These iconic maestros drew crowds and bridged racial divides through the love language of swing.

For more than 80 years, Midwest Big Band has been a Chicagoland favorite. Sinatra tribute favorite Jim Bulanda is in the spotlight as lead vocalist during this celebration of big band music.
