Who says a Big Band can only play 60-year-old dance numbers?
Not us!
The Jazz Pioneers is a 20-piece jazz band that plays traditional sounds from the big band era like Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller and Count Basie as well as the driving big band sounds of Buddy Rich, Maynard Ferguson and Gordon Goodwin. The Jazz Pioneers were formed in 2008 and feature top musicians from throughout the Mid-Hudson Valley. The Jazz Pioneers perform both publicly and privately. We have performed for Summer Concert Series, Fundraisers, Weddings and Parties. In 2019 the Jazz Pioneers performed at Eisenhower Hall at West Point. The Jazz Pioneers is directed by Bill Gillespie.
