Mike Norris Big Band appears every Thursday evening at Sally O's Irish Pub located in Beach Place on Ft Lauderdale Beach on A1A.

Downbeat is at 8PM and wraps up at 10PM.

The Mike Norris Big Band is a music ensemble associated with the Big Band style of Jazz which became popular during the SWING ERA from the early 1930s until the late 1940s. Mike and the Big Band also considers music from beyond that time to the present as well as the possibility of charted new compositions. This is a big band that evolves with the times. Big bands typically consist of approximately 12 to 25 musicians and contain; saxophones, trumpets, trombones, rhythm section and vocalists.

The terms used to describe this project are; jazz band, jazz ensemble, stage band, jazz orchestra, society band and dance band.

Some of the music will be improvised, or created spontaneously, music played by the big band is highly arranged and notated on sheet music. The music is traditionally called 'charts'. Improvised solos may be played only when called for by the Mike, who is also the Conductor as well as the Drummer, and take it from me this is a special band with some of the most talented musicians in the area.

Come out and bring the whole family to this A NO COVER Concert.
