The Stan Rubin Orchestra
Big Band in New York City, NY

The Stan Rubin Orchestra appears every Thursday night at the Red Blazer, a club on 37th Street in Manahattan. Chris Byars, a sax man, stands in for Stan as a leader but 10 or 15 times a year Stan makes the scene, occasionally even singing. The band also performs at corporate parties and private events.

Stan relies on a floating pool of 30 to 40 freelancers, about half of whom are experienced in swing while the younger ones are still learning its intricacies.
