THE SIDEMEN BIG BAND

What is the Sidemen Big Band?

Based in the Chicago metro area we feature some of the finest musicians in the Midwest!

The Sidemen Big Band  is a tight unit of quality jazz musicians founded by Chicago trumpeter Wendell Brenner.  "As the band's 'founding member', I emphasize there is no individual band leader because we’re all professionals with significant band experience.  We all know our way around our instruments.  This is a very open and proficient band."  Yes, the Sidemen are just that . . . professional musicians enjoying what they do best; playing great jazz and having fun doing it!  This fine musical group is a powerhouse of sound, geared to play many styles of music.  There are several groups that can be formed within the Sidemen, such as . . . an 18-Piece Jazz Big Band, a 9-Piece Society Band, or a 6-Piece Jazz Combo . . . we custom build to fit your musical entertainment needs!
