Goal: Provide a place for student groups to perform and listen to Big Band Jazz. For over 11 years we have done just that for thousands of students. The Pete Ellman Big Band is a "not for profit" company that provides a place for student musicians to perform and listen to jazz...specifically big band jazz. Each week during the school year a different high school or jr high will join us Occasionally we will provide a clinician free of charge to work with the students prior to their performance.
