Midnight Blue Orchestra in Kansas City

Midnight Blue Orchestra is a ten piece band that performs all of your favorite hits from the big band era.  Utilizing original arrangements to present the repertoire, polish, and powerful beat of the 1930s, 40s and 50s big bands, the Midnight Blue Orchestra have a full, unified big-band sound which is classy, elegant, and exciting.

True to the big band era, the Midnight Blue Orchestra incorporates the trumpet, trombone, alto sax, tenor sax, clarinet, keyboard, guitar, bass, and drums, and of course a lovely and talented female vocalist to deliver an authentic big band sound.  Midnight Blue Orchestra is extremely tight and professional.  Well dressed, disciplined, technically superior musicians and well-crafted arrangements are indispensable ingredients which enable the ensemble to be Kansas City's most creative and innovative big band orchestra.

Midnight Blue Orchestra plays standards which come under the heading of “Ballroom Dance Music”, such as foxtrot, waltz, polka, cha-cha, rumba, samba, mambo, tango, beguine, bossa nova, merengue, etc. They perform virtually any “standard”, i.e., well-known pop songs and show tunes from the first half of the 20th century, often referred to as “The Great American Songbook” — think of Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald and occasionally open the unforgettable musical pages of the 1960s.

"The Midnight Blue Orchestra is perfectly suited for the "dinner then dancing" event.   A part of the Midnight Blue Orchestra's repertoire is well-suited for background dinner music, for which they play a combination of slow, low-energy songs, and ballads.  After dinner, when all the guests are ready to dance, the band kicks up the tempo and energy level and brings the party to life!  A perfect balance." - Adam Blue of Adam Blue Productions

The Midnight Blue Orchestra is high-energy without being unpleasantly loud, employing the sound system only to balance the natural instrumental blend, not to deafen the audience.  Listeners tell us we play at a "comfortable" level, allowing table conversation to balance out an evening of enjoyable music listening.

Imagine how wonderful your event could be with a beautiful, authentic Big Band!  When it comes to entertainment, the CD spinning of a DJ or a looping song list on an iPod just won't do.  An essential ingredient of outstanding events will be missing -- the shear energy and dynamic value of live music.  No Big Band delivers this any better than Midnight Blue Orchestra who would be thrilled to provide big band music everyone loves for the event you or your organization is planning!  Perfect for formal dinners, dances, fundraisers, weddings, anniversaries, commemorative events, and in community concert settings.
