Jazz is one of the original and quintessential American art forms, and the Big Band is one of its most exciting manifestations. It swings and it rocks, it whispers and it can knock you back in your chair. One thing it won't let you do is sit still while listening!

The Westwind Big Band is an ensemble formed by members of the Hopkins Westwind Concert Band, many of whom have been playing jazz as long as they've been playing their horns. Although the 18-piece ensemble follows classic instrumentation and plays many standards of the 'Big Band' era, we also believe that era never ended and we love to add in some of the latest and greatest Big Band music from the modern era as well.

You will find our band playing all over the Twin Cities - in band festivals, music-in-the-park series' and other special events.  Come and check us out, then sit back and enjoy the music!
