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.

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.
