Big band sound

The World's Smallest Big Band is a compact and affordable group that gets a big band sound with just two horns. Music is played by real instruments in real time, without the recorded backgrounds known as sequences.

The band starts as a quartet with trumpet, sax and drums along with Ted Knight's keyboard and vocals. Available options include bass, guitar, vibes, and vocalists such as Evelyn Russell. Stage lighting is available when needed.

Jazz, pop and variety

The repertoire starts with jazz and standards but can also include as much pop and rock as needed. The band plays the same arrangements as Ted's orchestra, scaled for two horns instead of four. See the song list and hear demos.

Weddings

Read about weddings the band has played in Tampa, Jupiter, and Marco Island.

 At right, Ted sings at his own daughter's wedding while saxophonist Paul Magersuppe leads the group. See more pictures on the Virtual Wedding Tour.

Country club dances

The band plays for dances several times each year at the Delray Beach Club, where members enjoy their rock and disco numbers as well as the big band standards.

They played at Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club in Boca Raton in April 2006 and are booked to return. They're playing again for New Year's Eve this year at the Little Club in Gulf Stream.
