Contemporary big band music is music made primarily for the sheer enjoyment of it. There will likely be little remuneration and it will take a lot of work and time. To make a successful big band there has to be a sense of community and enthusiasm for the music. Trombonist/composer Alan Ferber has created a band of friends who play his daring music with an unmatched energy and grace. This dynamism and rapport is in full display on Alan Ferber Big Band’s new recording, March Sublime.
