Dave Slonaker Big Band Enlists the cream of LA-area studio/session and jazz players to blow some crazy-great charts. This should maybe be in "Local Heroes" 'cuz they don't travel--but the hip in LA sure know them. http://daveslonaker.com/bigband/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MliQtjFi86Q << somebody did us a solid by putting up these Capitol sessions
Mr. Slonaker's is by no means the only modern big band in the LA area--there's such a huge pool of talent there that loves to play more complex charts...Look in the sidebars for Ralph Macchia and Dave Grusin and others. If you are a budding fan or player, there's a lot out there for you.
