JC Hopkins' Biggish Band creates a special alchemy of Americana jazz- swinging, original songs rooted in big band jazz, be-bop, & the classic American Songbook. The Biggish Band features a deeply pedigreed group of players that includes Warren Smith (Miles Davis, Van Morrison, Aretha Franklin), on drums, Vincent Chancey (Sun Ra Arkestra) on French horn, & Claire Daly on saxophone. JC is pleased to welcome vocalist, Ms. Andromeda Turre. Andromeda developed her chops as a "Raelette," on the road with Ray Charles, & has sung with Dianne Reeves & Stevie Wonder.
'The band has evident internal rapport, & sports some fine soloists...a gem of American Jazz.' -Indianapolis Star
'...check them out, so you can say you saw them when they were merely biggish, as opposed to huge!' -Time Out New York
