"People often think of Big Band music as being mostly high-energy, but there's a beautiful side to it too, with its lush orchestrations and pretty solos," comments bandleader Roy Vombrack. "But our show won't be for couples-only - we'll still be featuring our upbeat material that everyone can enjoy."
