Welcome back to our blog!<\/p>\n
You’re in for a treat today, with the return of our In The Spotlight segment. We are joined by Kudos Big Band<\/a><\/b> – an excellent swing, jazz and rat-pack<\/a> 7-piece. <\/p>\n Together, they create a show-stopping performance, wowing crowds across the country at various different events. Their repertoire is ever-growing with classic swing and jazz songs as well as modern pop hits with a “swingy” Kudos twist! Individually they’ve played with artists such as Jamiroquai, John Legend, Mark Ronson, Daniel Merriweather, The Temptations, Percy Sledge, Ben E King, Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), The Roots, Tony Christie, and Martha Reeves! And together they have performed at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and The Royal Albert Hall. So here we have Kudos’ own, Mark, giving us an insight into life on the road with a big Rat Pack band! It’s Kudos Big Band In The Spotlight<\/a>!<\/p>\n We are a bunch of mates that all met when we were playing for the local youth big band years ago. We all grew up together learning about the music of Ellington, Basie and eventually, The Rat Pack. Now we’re all professional musicians playing in a number of bands and teaching.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\nWho are Kudos Big Band?<\/b><\/h2>\n
