Toronto All-Star Big Band

One of the most exciting bands around, the Toronto All-Star Big Band revives the spirit, style and sound of the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s – that golden age of the big bands. This vibrant cast of young talent has earned its position at the top of the list of presenters throughout Ontario and the USA. TABB provides one of the most intense and stimulating youth music programs in Canada.

Behind their extraordinary entertainment, they engage cream-of-the-crop young musicians from across the GTA in a rigorous regime of rehearsals, workshops and fantastic skill-building performance experiences with such international stars as Clark Terry, Doc Severinsen, Cleo Laine and John Dankworth, Eddie Daniels and Larry Elgart. The band has also worked with wonderfully talented Canadians, including Peter Appleyard, Oliver Jones, Ranee Lee, Tommy Ambrose, Phil Nimmons and the great Jackie Richardson. The band has enjoyed workshops with band leader Howard Cable, trombonist Al Kay, saxophonists Alex Dean, John Dankworth and Benny Golson, and trumpeters Clark Terry and John McLeod.
