Full Count Big Band at Bickford Theatre

The stage will be clear, the risers set up, and the 18-piece Full Count Big Band will be here for the first time, with their extensive fan club in tow.

While they have a vast collection of swing standards in their book, their extensive Count Basie material is a particular favorite -- plus some Goodman, Shaw, Ellington, Miller, Dorsey -- and they even venture into a bit of Buddy Rich or Maynard Ferguson on occasion.   

Theirs is a crisp, full sound, ideal for this room. They've won over fans at jazz clubs (Trumpets), dance halls (Crossroads) and massive auditoriums (NJPAC).  A great value at a budget price.
