Playing the Great Swing Music from the Big Band Era

WELCOME

The big band era comes alive whenever The Notables Swing Band plays the great swing music of the 1930's - 50's. We are an 18-member band in Central Oregon that provides rousing live big band music for dancing and entertainment. Our playlist also includes a big variety of more recent favorites, all played with the traditional full sounds of a classic big band.

Don't Miss Out!

Please consider the Notables Swing Band or The Little Big Band for your next event.

THE LITTLE BIG BAND

That Big Band Sound we all love, but coming from a quieter, smaller group; that is the new, THE LITTLE BIG BAND.

Now, if you want to hire a band to play at your parents’ 50th Wedding Anniversary, and you want the band in the house; this is the band for you.

If you are the activities director at one of Central Oregon’s fine retirement homes; this is the band for you. If you are a restaurant or club owner and you want to have a band playing for listening and dancing; this is the band for you.

You can’t help but smile when you hear, Take the A Train, Satin Doll, and hear vocalist, Marky Mason sing your favorite song. All this music from 6 horns and rhythm, amazing!

So, remember the next time you need that Big Band Sound, but you have a small space the answer is: THE LITTLE BIG BAND.
