Full Biography

Highlights
* Bring the sounds of a large big band in a smaller, more affordable package!
* Previous clients include Richard Branson, Bill Clinton, Prince Charles & more!
* Smaller line-ups available to suit individual needs (please see booking options).

This clever 'mini' big band suavely arranges the sounds of a large scale big band into a compact 8 piece Jazz ensemble. With a repertoire including recognizable hits from Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Glen Miller and more recent big band sounds of the likes of Michael Buble, Tony Bennett and even Lady Gaga’s acclaimed foray into the world of jazz; The CC Big Band have over 150 arrangements to their repertoire with something to suit everyone!

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. Having toured all over the world at events as far afield as Qatar, Dubai, Kuwait, Thailand; The CC Big Band can just as easily enthrall and excite, as it can blend into the backdrop of any high society function.

Previous clients include: Richard Branson, Bill Clinton, Prince Charles, Lord Mandleson & Crowne Prince Haakon to name just a few!

Whether it's an evening of dancing or a soft laid back dinner set, the band is available at its full size or with various smaller combinations depending on the client needs. As a group they pride themselves on punctuality, presentation and of course musical excellence at every step of the way.
