Testimonials about Dave Dickey Big Band Bobby Shew, jazz trumpet legend "Its great to be on this Midwest tour and get a chance to play with this unbelievable band. Wow! I don't get to play with bands of this caliber very often. Playing with this band really heals up a lot of wounds." Paul G. Wirth, The Iron Post "The Dave Dickey Big Band sounds like they're the top talent assembled in Central Illinois because they are. U of I Jazz Studies Professors mixed with top players make an incredible sound. As a club owner I love the band for filling the room. As a jazz fan, I love them because these folks can play!" Larry Fredrickson, WDWS/WHMS Radio "This is a high-powered band. An amalgamation of the best jazz musicians in East Central Illinois, tight ensemble playing, and solos that will take you places, the "Dave Dickey Big Band" showcases the finest in talent and contemporary big band jazz you're liable to find anywhere."
