Gap Mangione & The New Big Band

Gap has been a guest soloist with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, and he and the Big Band played at the Blue Note jazz club in New York City with Chuck Mangione as a special guest. He regularly appears at New York City’s Knickerbocker jazz club with his own trio. He and Chuck often join musical forces on Chuck’s tours or with Gap’s Big Band.

This band with its complement of three trumpets, three trombones, four saxophones, rhythm section, and vocalists, includes in its repertoire arrangements from the swing era bands through the more modern big bands to a cross-section of the best in popular music, arranged specifically for this group. The emphasis is on quality, style, and variety.
