PACIFIC LITTLE BIG BAND The Pacific Little Big Band is a smaller version of the Pacific Jazz Ensemble. This group generally features nine to eleven musicians who perform works that sound full (similar to a traditional big band), yet are nimble enough to allow for plenty of improvisation and selection variety. The ensemble presents works ranging from historically significant to newly minted by today’s elite composers.
