Band Bio
The Full Count Big Band is an 18 piece orchestra that has been performing together for over a decade. We have played at the NJPAC in Newark and performed at charity & fundraising events, weddings, street fairs, dances and concerts around New Jersey. We are a professional group and our music is eclectic, not just nostalgia. We are always looking for new and additional venues where we can entertain. The Full Count organization will provide professional musical entertainment for any event, large or small. Whether it is a single piano player, a three or four piece group with a vocalist, or the live, vibrant, exciting sounds of a complete Big Band, call us at (908) 789-0822 to book your event.
The Full Count Big Band conducts an “Open Rehearsal” every Monday evening from 7:30 to 9:30 PM at the Elks Lodge located at 1193 Route 22 East, Mountainside, NJ 07092. Admission is FREE and you can dance or just sit and listen to the music you know and love. There is a spacious bar where drinks and snacks are served and everyone is welcome. You can always keep up with our upcoming events on Face Book or Twitter or simply check our calendar.
Music
Although the term big band is most closely associated with its heyday of the Swing Era (1935-1945), it is a genre that has existed from the 1920's and continues to this day. With a library of over 5,000 arrangements, the Full Count Big Band provides an eclectic mix of big band music ranging from the Swing Era classics to more contemporary jazz, latin, rhythm & blues, funk and rock. Regardless of musical style, the instrumentation of saxophones, trumpets, trombone and rhythm provides unrivaled harmonic and rhythmic excitement.
