About / Biography

Pop Goes Big Band — Tailored Description (90-Minute Live Set)

Pop Goes Big Band is a full-scale, 90-minute experience that transforms legendary pop and rock songs into bold, swinging jazz showpieces. Drawing from icons like Queen, Elton John, and other timeless hitmakers, the set blends classic swing-era orchestration with arena-sized melodies audiences already love.

Brassy shout choruses, walking bass lines, lush sax harmonies, and theatrical vocals give each song a second life—some turning into high-energy dance numbers, others into smoky late-night ballads. The show flows like a classic jazz revue: strong opening statement, dynamic peaks, intimate mid-set moments, and a triumphant encore that leaves the room buzzing.

This format works perfectly for theaters, jazz festivals, corporate galas, and upscale club stages, delivering both nostalgia and novelty in one polished package.
