The Air Force Big Band

The Air Force band is recognised as a world-class military band, with a proud history of service to the Royal Australian Air Force and the Australian community. The Air Force Big Band is the Air Force's high profile jazz ensemble.

The band's talented musicians were brought together to create a musical powerhouse that is quickly becoming a prominent part of the entertainment landscape.

The band has a strong heritage drawn from "the big band era" of the 1920s to 50s, and continues the tradition of the Air Force big bands that rose in popularity during World War II. The ensemble's diverse repertoire includes original compositions and arrangements by band members, traditional big band swing, and contemporary jazz.
