The Tuesday Night Band is an 18-piece big band where every member shares a passion for Jazz and Big Band music.  Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, many of the city's finest players have held a chair in the TNB over the years.  While the personnel has been through some changes its mandate and regular weekly rehearsal on, you guessed it, Tuesday night has been consistent for over 35 years, keeping the tradition alive and getting the music out to the people.  

 

Tuesday Night Band has been a staple of the Halifax Jazz Festival every summer since its inauguration.  It has also been enjoyed at bandstands and community festivals around the province.  It has played swing dances, and New Year's Eve revelries, conferences, charities, school performances, weddings, and other social functions. 

 

“Swing, Blues, Shuffle, Bop, Funk, Latin, Jump and Jive, that’s the music we love to play.”  Drawing on an extensive book of over 400 arrangements the bands show remains relevant.  Featuring new and original compositions and arrangements along with old favourites from arrangers such as Sammy Nestico,  Dave Wolpe, Mark Taylor, and Andrew Holmzy.
