\"The<\/a>All throughout my school years, my band teachers talked about a big band they all seemed to play in called The Moonliters<\/em>. Although many years have gone by since I first heard The Moonliters<\/em> name, I had not forgotten it.<\/p>\n

In January 2014, I got a phone call to sub for the 2nd alto player. That sub spot turned into a permanent tenor spot, as well as the designated fill-in for any chair necessary when required. (That’s what happens when you own all the voices of saxophone. You sub for everyone.)<\/p>\n

The Moonliters<\/em> is a 19-piece big band that specializes in swing, jump, jive, and Latin music from the 1930s to the present day. However, I would be lying if I said we didn’t bring back strong memories of the Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, and Dorsey era for those who lived it.<\/p>\n

The reason for this strong sonic association with these famous big bands of the past? One simple reason: For the most part, The Moonliters<\/em> play the original charts, just as they were played by the big name acts in the day. But don’t think we’re just stuck in a time warp: Yes, we play contemporary music from modern crooners like Michael Bubl\u00e9.<\/p>\n
