New London Big Band

Led by trombonist and composer Sean Nelson, the New London Big Band is a "full bodied and polished brassy big band" (Jazz Weekly) made up of 17 of the finest musicians in New England. Formed in 2016, they play monthly to sold out crowds at the Social Bar + Kitchen in New London, where they attract professional and amateur dancers from near and far.

Their album, Social Hour, released ​to critical acclaim ​on Summit Records, is “a smartly swinging young crew…their beat can’t be beat​,​ and they know and show that swing is the thing.” (Midwest Record) The album received airplay globally and charted on the jazz radio charts. The band performed an album release concert for a sold out audience at the famed Birdland Jazz Club.
