These men have played with great musicians including Fletcher Henderson, Earl Hines, Erskine Hawkins, and Benny Goodman. Is this one great group or what?

   [ Joe Ferrari Big Band and Combo ]
The band was begun in 1983 by Joe Ferrari, Jr. of San Jose, CA as a lifelong dream realized, following his retirement from civil service. Joe played clarinet, since the age of nine, and later accordion and piano, and continued a successful music career throughout high school and college during the height of the big band era, as he pursued a degree in music. During and after WWII, Joe married and raised a family, but music always remained a vital part of his life; in fact, he raised his children on the great American music genre of jazz and swing. Joe again gained enormous success and recognition with his traditional big band, particularly in the South Bay Area, bringing fun and nostagia into the lives of its followers. When tragedy took his life in 1998, Joe's daughter, Judy Ferrari, lead vocalist in his band, took over leadership of the band, and along with her sister, Gerri, also a vocalist, they keep the band going in the spirit of their father, with original and new band members, many of whom had played with the best of the name bands during the swing era.
