Glenn Tadina Big Band

The following is only a partial list in my current Big Band playbook. I carry approximately of 500 tunes in my active playbook which represents a good variety of dance rhythms,styles from the early 1900s to the present, and arrangements from many of the Big Name Bands plus others

My book includes a good variety of Waltz, Foxtrot (slow and fast), Swing (West and East Coast), Shuffle, Country Shuffle (line dance), and even a few Polkas and Schottishe. I am constantly adding new arrangements to my playbook. If I don't have a tune requested I will do my best to find an arrangement for the next time.

In the line of the Latin dance rhythyms we have: Rhumba, Cha-Cha, Tango, Samba, Marengue, La Conga, Bossa Nova, Salsa, Mambo, Beguine, Calypso. A sample of tunes of these dance styles I have in my playbook will be added soon.

I have both a male and female vocalists that works with the band, either as soloists or often together for vocal duets with the band. They include vocals of Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holliday, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, My active vocal book has 100+ vocal arrangements.
