Dick Cully and his Big Band perform the Fred Ebb, John Kander composition "New York, New York" arranged by Robert W. Lowden at the Miami, Florida television studios of WLRN-TV channel 17. The 25-year success and longevity of this band was due to a fine group of players and a versatile, appealing library that both the musicians and audiences enjoyed.

I have to say Mr. Cully, you guys are fantastic! At times, I feel like I'm watching an old tape of Buddy Rich's big band. Yet your band is also distinctive and unique as well. Very smooth. Top-notch playing. No wonder you've been extant for over 20 years in a very tough market. Kudos! And 5 stars, of course!

Hi, Mr.Cully, Thanks for this wonderful music sharing with the world. I am a fan of Frank Sinatra.
I have a doubt. what are the instruments used in this band. I think first row (saxophone), second row (trombone) and
third row (trumpet) am i correct?.
Also Please let me know from what combination of instruments, the unique sound between 0:22 - 0:29 seconds coming . Thanks in advance.

+santosh kumar ---Thank you for your kind remarks. The orchestra consists of five saxes, two tenor, two alto and a baritone. Trombones are second row, two tenors and a bass trombone. Third row are the trumpets and the chairs number 1 thru 4 with the third being the 'jazz' chair. Piano/keyboard, bass and drums. The sections playing chords or riffs are what makes a big band unique and an American art form. Sinatra is the best you have good taste. Best wishes to you.
