Shout Section Big Band is an exciting 15-20 jazz ensemble in the heart of one of America's jazz capitols, Chicago. The band represents a new generation of big band musician - comprised mostly of 25-35 year old musicians from the Midwest. Playing a mix of homegrown charts from composers Josh Jern, John Dorhauer and Mike Maneechote & a massive library of classic jazz charts, the band knows what today's big band audience is all about. Listen to the band's new debut CD: "Favorite Things," and check them out live. You'll see that Big Band still has strong legs in the USA and shows no signs of stopping. The band is led by music director, Brett Dean. Singer Amy Yassinger brings an atomic blast of soul and swing and frequent trumpet soloist, Nick Drozdoff adds a one-of-a-kind laser beam of musicianship and excitement.
