[ARCHIVED] Concerts in the Park - Minnesota Jazz Orchestra

Concert in the Park

The band features 16 talented ensemble members, some of which have toured nationally, taught at universities and received many awards. We've been named the top big band in the 5-state area. We play with fantastic local vocalists: Debbie O'Keefe and Reeves Cary. Band owners Craig and Cara Thrane have led the band for over 25 years.

We play full and passionate swing music that will make you want to dance all night! We play true classic swing; the stuff that kids from 7 to 77 can't get enough of. It's the music that made Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Count Basie, and others famous.

We have over 1700 tunes in our library, spanning the decades. From Miller and Dorsey in the 30’s, 40’s, to the Rat Pack charts in the 50's and 60's, along with a number of popular ‘90’s swing tunes. Our music includes Swing (West Coast, East Coast, Lindy), Latin (Samba, Cha-Cha, Bosa Nova), Blues Swing, Ballads, and even some Polkas.
