Hall of Fame

 

 

  ______________________________________________________________________________

 

On 10/3/07, the last induction into the prestigous Big Band Hall of Fame was made.

 

It was deservedly made to a man who is not only a proponent of the Big Band Era and a bandleader who to this day plays all of the originals with the original charts as we love to hear them... but is also an extremely gifted and accomplished composer as his original charts are being sold worldwide.

 

Mr. Ben Grisafi has performed in Carnegie Hall and the list goes on and on. He is performing to this day with his stellar crew of top notch professionals. To learn more about him and his amazing orchestra, please click the photo below.
