A Live Big Band Tribute
"Big band music may be a blast from the past, but for Clayton “Skip” Poole and his son, CJ, it’s a living, breathing entity that evolves with every improvised solo, even when performed as its composers originally intended.
With the New Hampshire Jazz Orchestra, the Pooles aim to recreate the music of the big bands of the 1940s led by icons like Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller and Artie Shaw using the original arrangements from the era."
