Their library boasts over 500 charts, covering swing, Latin, and funk, with music from legends like Buddy Rich, Count Basie, Stan Kenton, Duke Ellington, Patrick Williams, and the WDR Big Band.
Their vocal repertoire is equally dazzling, featuring timeless classics from Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Natalie Cole, Diana Krall, Peggy Lee,…
