Search - The James Bazen Big Band :: The Wednesday Night Pizza Band

On a typical Wednesday night at Paisanos restaurant in Rockville, MD, 18 of the hottest musicians in the Washington, DC area gather to experiment with contemporary big band sounds. This group is dedicated to celebrating Music. All types of Music. Not jazz, not swing, not rock, not classical, not world beat, not adult contemporary and not Top 40. Just Music with a capital "M." And fun with a capital "F." "The Wednesday Night Pizza Band" builds on the best of artists such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Kenton, Count Basie, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chick Corea, Frank Sinatra, Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Bob Marley, Claude Debussy, J. S. Bach, and even Celtic folk artists.
