Origins // The Strictly Smokin' Big Band started life in a high school class room as the All Star Jazz Band in 2002! What we lacked in musicians, we made up for with ingenuity and enthusiasm. Time has been kind to us, and we now boast some of the North East's finest musicians.
	Now.. // ...we rehearse and perform on a regular basis to keep our music top class. There is a constant investment into new material to give a fresh sound each time you hear us. We aim to provide an exemplary service, both in terms of the music we play and our professional approach to events. The Strictly Smokin' Big Band combines a deep reverence for the big band tradition with the immediacy and excitement of the 21st Century to produce a truly classic yet highly contemporary sound for your event.
