JAZZ is still alive in Columbus Ohio!
The Little Big Band of Columbus is a 20-piece Big Band (Jazz Band) that performs music from many genres, styles and time periods. From Glenn Miller and George Gershwin to Chicago and Journey, you’ll hear a variety of music and styles performed at our concerts.
Formed in 2014, the band has performed at many community events, festivals and Retirement centers. The band consists of student, amateurs and semi-professional musicians. We have former band directors, computer programmers, retired teachers and even some students thrown into the mix. Our mission is simple, “Have Fun Making Music”.
