Our History
The band, originally known as The Band in Demand, or simply TBD, was formed in 2002 as part of a musical production with a 1940s theme. At the end of the show’s run the members decided to keep the band together as an opportunity to play the great classics. The community’s enthusiastic response has enabled the band to develop a performance schedule that has attracted the area’s best jazz musicians looking for an opportunity to play big band music on a regular basis.
The band’s schedule includes concerts and festivals such as Birmingham’s City Stages and Huntsville’s Concerts in the Park, Panoply of the Arts, and Jazz-N-June. The band also performs regularly at charitable fundraising events, formal dances, wedding receptions, and corporate functions.
