Based in Gloucestershire, the Crescendo Big Band is a dynamic 16-piece ensemble featuring a full lineup of saxophones, trumpets, trombones, and a powerhouse rhythm section.

We perform timeless classics from legends like Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, and Frank Sinatra, alongside fresh, original arrangements crafted exclusively for our performances.

For over 45 years, we have been captivating audiences with authentic swing sound, thrilling solos, and lush harmonies. Whether it’s the energy of Glenn Miller’s “In The Mood”, the cool elegance of Basie’s “April in Paris”, or an exciting modern arrangement, we bring the spirit of big band music to life.

Join us for an unforgettable musical journey — where every performance is a celebration of the swing era, jazz classics, and the rich tradition of big band music.
