Peachtree Band of Jazz
Peachtree Band of Jazz is an ensemble within the Peachtree Symphonic Winds organization. We're a big-band style ensemble, with saxophones, trombones, trumpets, and a rhythm section of bass, keys, drums and guitar. We love to play diverse styles of jazz music, including Latin jazz, funk, swing, progressive jazz, and even a few jazz-based movie and TV show themes.
If you play an instrument used in big bands and are looking for a group to join, contact us and tell us which instrument(s) you play. We'll get back in touch with you to follow up.
