The George Lake Big Band is unique; a much 0ver-used word that means there is none other like it. Yet that happens to be the state of the art in this instance: this orchestra, under Steve’s expert and inspired direction, is a musical one-off–let us cherish its rare artistry and support its appearances.

The Bar was packed with people, all waiting expectantly for the George Lake Big Band to start. I felt like I was in the middle of an old black and white movie, especially when the suave leader of the 19-piece band, donned his cool black hat and smoothly wished us all a warm Chick’n’Deli welcome. We sat over beer and wings, and soaked up an amazing show of sheer musical brilliance. I had the time of my life. Heather McCabe The Star
