Stardust Big Band
The Stardust Big Band
Best in the Land

STARDUST
is the award winning big band which performs music ranging from the Big Band Era to the modern sounds of today. Their library of more than 200 songs includes Swing, Latin, Rock, Waltzes and Ballads, and arrangements from Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington and Woody Herman. The membership of this dynamic group consists of musicians from many areas of Arkansas, all of whom aspire to the highest level of musicianship and are dedicated to the perpetuation of the "Big Band" sound. Stardust specializes in music for dances and special occasions. If you are interested in music for concerts, festivals or other events, we recommend our sister group, The Arkansas Jazz Orchestra.
