UPCOMING BIG BAND DANCE

THANK YOU!!!

“THE BIG BANDS WERE BACK!”

Thank you to the hundreds of people who showed up to dance the night away, supporting the American Big Band Preservation Society’s fundraising event on November 12th at Memorial Hall in Melrose. Due to the success and demand for another night of big band music and dancing with entertainment from Dan Gabel and The Abletones, we will be repeating this in the Spring… so stay tuned for our next exciting event at this location and beyond   !!!  You can sign up for reminders by joining our mailing list. You can also visit the band’s website at www.TheAbletones.com

OUR BIG BAND BLOG
Keep up with big band news, stories and history with our blogger, Arnold “Arnie” Koch, former manager of the famous Salt City 5/6 band. For almost the entire two decades of their existence, beginning as their Talent Scout on Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts, Arnie Koch was the Salt City Five/Six Personal Manager. Under his management, the band had four recording contracts (Jubilee, MGM, Roulette and Audiophile) and two major talent agencies: Music Corporation of America and Associated Booking Corp. They played in about every major jazz club in the U.S. During this time, Arnie managed to represent Roy Liberto’s Bourbon St. Six, and Red Richard’s and Vic Dickenson’s Saints and Sinners.Fortunately for his family, Arnie never had to give up his day job with General Electric in public relations.  Click on the BLOG tab to read more.
