FortJazz Big Band performs an exciting variety of music from classic Big Band Era swing to today's popular Las Vegas show arrangements. Our full-size Big Band creates that exciting sound that you rarely hear anymore.  At dance events we can add a variety of Latin, Waltz, and Tango styles in addition to your Big Band Swing and Foxtrot favorites.  Our music library contains a wide variety of entertaining music that is available for your event.

We feature the area's top musical talent including great vocalists.  Our arrangements feature the music of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Harry James, Stan Kenton, Frank Sinatra, Les Brown, George & Ira Gershwin, Rogers & Heart, Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Buddy Rich, Brian Setzer, Gordon Goodwin and many others.  FortJazz Big Band was voted one of the best local bands in the Fort Collins Coloradoan's Best of Fort Collins!

Colorado Swing is our smaller dance band with the same music and style as the full-size Big Band.  We are also available for your wedding, dance, or special event, and we can tailor the music to include your favorite arrangements and dance styles.

A smaller ensemble from our big band groups can perform a set of quiet background or energetic cocktail music preceding the Big Band dance portion of your event, if desired.

We greatly appreciate your calendar and editorial coverage about our fundraisers and performances.  If you have any questions, call Kip Scholl at  (970) 416-1414 or click here to send me an email.  The following information and photos are available for promotion of FortJazz Big Band and Colorado Swing events:
