Years ago it was commonplace to hook up with a big band and go “on the road”. Buddy Rich, Woody Herman, Stan Kenton and others constantly were touring the country and the world.

Not many left anymore unfortunately. If you are looking for some road experience playing with a big band, I just got word from subscriber that there is a trumpet opening (2nd w/ some lead) with the Glenn Miller big band starting in April, 2009.

Here are the details from Ron Mills, piano player and arranger with the group:
