Big Band Cavalcade
Take a Walk Down Memory Lane!
RICK SCHALK ORCHESTRAS
Sit back and enjoy the show as the band and I play an overture of songs we are sure you’ll all remember!
Then close your eyes and reminisce as we play the top hits of the most famous Big Bands in history -- names like Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Harry James, Duke Ellington and many others.
We’re sure you will enjoy such hits as “In The Mood,” “A String of Pearls,” “I’ll Never Smile Again,” “On the Sunny Side of the Street,” “Opus One,” “Begin the Beguine,” “Stardust,” “Stompin’ at the Savoy,” “One O’clock Jump,” “Take The ‘A’ Train” and many more.
During intermission join the band and me in the lobby to chat about the Big Bands and their days on the road.
Direct from Chicago - This group of veteran Big Band musicians has come together to provide your audience with an evening they won't soon forget. Everyone in the group has played with, been on the road with, recorded with, or simply jammed with all of the big band greats. Under the leadership of Rick Schalk, "Big Band Cavalcade" is a walk down memory lane for those of the era and a blast of fresh "swingin' " air for those too young to remember the real Big Band days
Great stories, excellent musical selections and amazing musicianship, plus being very affordable, make "Big Band Cavalcade" an easy choice for your venue
