Welcome to Greater Seattle's Hottest Big Band
Route 66
The Big Band Era
Route 66 plays Swing Music, which was the popular music of the 1930s-1950s. From Benny Goodman to Duke Ellington, Harry James to Glenn Miller, the Route 66 Big Band performs the music of the "Greatest Generation" that's fun to both listen and dance to. It's Happy and Entertaining Music! Our 17 piece Big Band showcases our full sections of' saxophones, trombones, & trumpets, with a rhythm section composed of piano, drums, and bass as well as a vocalist. |
The MusicThis is the music we love to play and you love to listen to, mostly swing standards from the 30s, 40s, and 50s (and some surprises too!).

However, they may or may not be currently in our working 'book' so if you want to hear particular tunes, just let us know!
