Medicine Hat Big Band

Medicine Hat Big Band

As the old-timers in Medicine Hat know, this city has been home to many Big Bands over the years. The present version was born about 14 years ago and has been playing for dance parties, private functions and in concert settings ever since.

The Medicine Hat Big Band performed at one of the first JazzFests, and it is time we heard this dynamic group again.

They play a wide variety of big band music, focusing primarily on the music of the ’40s and ’50s from such composers as Duke Ellington, Glen Miller and Count Basie
