Based
in Raleigh, North Carolina, the Casablanca Orchestra is a powerful,
well rehearsed 18 piece Big Band. Our professionally staffed instrumentation
includes piano, drums, bass, guitar, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, and 5
saxophones.
To
complement this instrumental ensemble, we are pleased to feature one
of the top female vocalists in the area - Ms. Debbie Bennett. Her vocal
stylings, reminiscent of great singers such as Ella Fitzgerald and Rosemary
Clooney, and contemporaries Linda Ronstadt, Whitney Houston, and Natalie
Cole, add that special touch of class to our musical presentation.
Our repertoire of over 300
songs includes many Big Band Swing, Jazz, Latin, and Blues standards
from the 40's to the 90's, by such greats as Count Basie, Woody Herman,
Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Stan Kenton, and contemporaries Thad Jones
and Harry Connick, Jr. In addition, we feature Pop, Beach music, Rock
and Roll "Oldies", and a number of our own original Big Band
arrangements. This variety has enabled us to be successful with all
audiences, both young and old.
