BOCA RATON, Fla. Gary Farr & His All Star Big Band brings back the best of Frank Sinatra, Count Basie and Glenn Miller for Boca’s Big Band Extravaganza at The Funky Biscuit in Royal Palm Place for several Sunday nights through February - January 29, Feb 12th & 26th at 7:00 P.M.

With preeminent band leader Gary Farr at the keyboard, internationally acclaimed recording artist Ron Fattorusso  joins Jim Hayward in the sax section, Scott Melamerson on trumpet and a tour de force of brass musicians backed with bass, guitar and drums for a sound that’s true to swing and today. The talent-loaded roster also features singers Matt Farr and Danielle Natividad with favorites including “Unforgettable,” “It Had to Be You,” and “Come Fly With Me.”

This 16-piece, tux-clad big band showcase is the brainchild of seasoned band leader  Gary Farr, who played the South Florida circuit for two decades and worked from London to Los Angeles, most recently placing music for Oprah Winfrey, NBC and the Weather Channel.

“Michael Buble´and Harry Connick, Jr., and TV shows like ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and ‘Pan Am’  have popularized the swinging sound of hot brass,” said Farr.  His band members have played on-stage or in the studio with the biggest names in show business from Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Gloria Estefan, Dion, Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, Kenny Rogers, Sammy Davis Jr., Mel Torme, the Four Tops, Julio Iglesias, K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Natalie Cole, and Lou Rawls, to Tony Orlando and Dawn, Englebert Humperdink, Buddy Greco, Vic Damone, Stan Getz, Wayne Cochran and the C.C. Riders and many more.
