Shout Section Big Band

Shout Section Big Band is Chicagoland’s own professional jazz big band. Comprised of some of the most exciting veteran and up-and-coming musicians, Shout Section Big Band has become one of the Midwest’s best big bands. Since its inception a decade ago, S.S.B.B. has performed at numerous dances, weddings, civic concerts, educational clinics, television programs (including the nationally syndicated "The Vampire Diaries"). and radio shows. The band is popular with jazz fans and swing dancers & performs classic big band jazz from the 1930’s and 40’s, but also adapts modern hits to the big band style. Just when you think you know where the band is going, they’ll throw you a very entertaining curveball. Shout Section commissions new arrangements at a furious pace. New compositions by band members John Dorhauer, Joshua Jern, and Texas composer, Brian Stark keep the genre sounding as fresh today as it did generations ago. Shout Section was one of the first big bands to use social media to bring jazz to a new generation. Visit their website at: www.shoutsection.com or Facebook page at: Facebook.com/shoutsection/

"Relatives from NYC insisted that such a band couldn't be found for less than $20,000 where they are from; our relatives all went out of their way to rave about the quality of the playing; even my mother-in-law raved on and on about how fantastic you guys were... Not only was the playing superb, but all the logistical aspects were handled so well."

"I just wanted to thank you and the entire Shout Section Big Band once again for a fantastic night at Jean's Jazz Series. The professionalism shown by you and by everyone associated with Shout Section was incredible. The music was amazing, [the] vocals were compelling and the overall effect that Shout Section created was above description.

Because of all the wonderful talent that you brought to Racine on Saturday night, Shout Section Big Band was solely responsible for 400+ new fans having a very, very enjoyable night. I am very confident that we will work together again.

Thanks Brett, for everything that you do for Shout Section, for Jean's Jazz Series and for big band music in general. Because of people like you and Shout Section Big Band, our beloved music will be safe for another generation."
