The South Van Big Band is a 19-piece jazz orchestra based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Its musical repertoire ranges across swing, bebop, latin jazz, rock, funk, fusion and contemporary.
The band’s music occasionally pays homage to the great bands of Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Kenton and countless others, but also crosses a number of different musical styles in blues, latin jazz, funk, bebop, fusion, vocals and contemporary music, all arranged with big band orchestration.
The beat goes on with SOUTH VAN BIG BAND, as it performs numerous public concerts throughout the year in the Lower Mainland, always striving to play with heart and soul through the dynamic power of a modern big band.
