"The Big Blue Big Band was great! They made our special day exciting and unique. They worked seamlessly with our DJ and everyone had a fun time dancing to actual live, dance music. This was the perfect option for our wedding! Thank you again!"

"We hired the Big Blue Big Band because live music was what we wanted for my son's wedding day. The band has a large repertoire including what we preferred: big band, jazz, swing, and ballad style music. This wide variety of music provided great dinner background music as well as kept everyone of all ages engaged on the dance floor.
I really appreciated Jason Clinton's professionalism and the band's flexibility to prepare a few songs specifically called out by my son and his bride to be. Everyone in attendance, from young to old commented on the great sound and wide variety of engaging music.
I highly recommend this band to anyone who truly enjoys live music!

They played a great variety of dance tunes, Fox-Trots, Swing, all the Latin Dances! The singer was wonderful and the band is extremely talented. They would add to any event!

"Morton Memorial Library had the privilege of hosting the Big Blue Big Band at its fundraising gala, Boas and Bow Ties in 2016. It was a wonderful evening of Big Band Swing Music, dancing and singing by Kate Weston which was enjoyed by all that attended.
Jason Clinton, director, was a pleasure to work with in organizing the event. The professionalism of the musicians and their outstanding musical talent made the evening memorable and successful.

“A group of my adult dance students were lucky enough to coordinate with the Big Blue Big Band at a wonderful fundraiser for the Morton Library in Rhinecliff, NY in 2016. Jason sent me a recording of the music that they would be playing and I was able to choreograph and teach two exhilarating Charlestons to my group. What a great experience for these adult dance students! When we actually got to the event and worked with the band the musicians were kind, talented, dynamic, inspiring and thrilling to work with. The band was so rousing that my group continued dancing with them for the rest of the evening!

“I often travel from Ohio to visit relatives in the Hudson Valley. On several occasions I have had the privilege to attend performances of the Big Blue Big Band at the Mohonk Mountain House, a magnificent venue itself. The orchestral performances of the Big Blue Big Band fit perfectly into the Mohonk mystique and never disappoint. The Big Blue Big Band incorporates multiple instruments, performing an intriguing variety of swing tunes with a sultry, female soloist who brings thoseold time Big Band tunes to life.
