Tuxedo Junction is heralded as the
‘Best Big Band’ in the Inland Empire.
This fantastic band is made up of an all-star cast of musicians and
vocalists from the Coeur d’Alene - Spokane area. Its music ranges from the golden era of the Big Bands to the new
standards of today. Everything from
Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and Duke Ellington to waltzes, Latin, and more
allows the sound of this Big Band to be a thrill for all. Their sound consists of strong soloists and
solid ensemble playing, making this a truly entertaining experience.
TJBB has gotten rave reviews by
providing audiences with sounds and entertainment that can easily be proclaimed
as "exciting." Playing the
extremes from luscious ballads to full sounding shout choruses to delicate
shuffle music, TJBB captures its audience and takes it on an unforgettable
ride.
The foundation of the band's
repertoire is based firmly in the classic swing era of the 1930s and 1940s with
all those golden hits, but the band also performs a wide variety of music from
the 1950s through today that continue the tradition of the stirring,
full-bodied sounds of the big bands.
Here is a partial list of these great sounds:
