This clever 'mini' big band suavely arranges the sounds of a large scale big band into a compact 8 piece Jazz ensemble.

With Chris at the forefront, leading and directing the band; the importance of professionalism, timeliness, dress codes and flexibility are as important to him as being musically adept.

Really enjoyed their playing and would recommend to anyone
Shiona N booked The CC Big Band for their event
“Chris came with his big band and played some quiet stuff over dinner and then dancing tunes later on it the evening. Started with jazz and did some R&B to finish. Really enjoyed their playing and would recommend to anyone else who is thinking about hiring them”
