85th Street Big Band

Based in Seattle WA


The 85th Street Big Band is a 20-piece Big Band consisting of four trumpets, four trombones, five saxophones, a piano, guitar, bass, drums & percussion, and 2 singers! We have been playing dance music in the greater Seattle area since 2002. We feature swing favorites from the 30s, 40s and 50s including tunes made famous by Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Nat King Cole, and Frank Sinatra among many others. We also have a nice selection of Latin and seasonal music we love to perform.


When the occasion calls for lively music... think of us!
