“Swing This!”
The Omaha Big Band
Swing this, is a very appropriate title for this big band out of the Midwest, lead by trombonist Chris Acker.
“The Omaha Big Band is here and hotter than ever. Drawing from the top professional jazz musicians in Omaha, the OBB is a powerful, high energy, swingin’ 18 piece ensemble. The OBB continues to please and amaze audiences, performing a variety of big band styles, including classic to contemporary, and everything in between."
