The Elliot Deutsch Big Band is the youngest, boldest, and hardest swinging big band in Los Angeles. Featuring all original compositions and 17 of the hottest young professionals in jazz, the Elliot Deutsch Big Band has a unique and exciting sound all its own.

Every Elliot Deutsch Big Band performance is an exclusive ticket to the newest live jazz on the scene. Formed in 2007, the group plays with a slick and contemporary style built on a solid foundation of hard swing. With tunes written to be both accessible and complex, the music impresses casual listeners and jazz experts alike. While many big bands are limited by playing only classic material, the Elliot Deutsch Big Band prides itself on playing only original charts and daring new arrangements penned by Deutsch and contributing band members. The band has performed at the UCLA JazzReggae and Caltech Jazz Festivals, the Jazz Bakery, the Pasadena Jazz Institute, The Edison, Catalina’s Bar and Grill, as well as numerous private gigs.

All the players are up-and-coming young musicians in their mid-to-late 20s who take pride and ownership in their distinctive big band sound. That means louder fortes, riskier solos, and a high energy that won't quit. This is the next generation of writers, performers, and studio musicians, and many are already active on the national scene.

The band's debut album, Weeknight Music, was released in May 2009 and features 11 original tracks including a playful reinvention of “Cheek to Cheek,” the lush ballad, “Coffee Time,” and the hard driving blues, “The Jury’s Out.”
