Jazz and swing musical organization the Full Count Big Band are happy to release a new song, an anthem about New York City, rightfully called “I Met New York.”
Consisting of 17 different instrumentalists and one vocalist when performing, the band initially began 20 years ago as a community group, later growing to the professional level. Much of the Full Count Big Band has experience in the music industry, with musicians, for the most part, currently playing or have played/toured with popular groups or are music education teachers.
The song’s inspiration comes from Jeneal Teander, who isn’t from New York but instead from North Carolina, who thought that New York City with all its problems, could use a lift through an inspirational song. Bender discovered the Full Count Big Band through their website and the group’s proximity to New York City, a perfect blend for what he was looking for. Following the band’s tweaks and adjustments to the track for about a year, Bender is finally ready to release his work.
The band performs and rehearses weekly for weddings, concerts, private parties, dances, fairs, fundraiser events, and jazz clubs across the metro New York area.
To listen to “I Met New York,” you can visit the band’s website, where you can find booking information, listen to other songs, and additional background on the New Jersey group.
