big dance band in the southeast. A big band in the tradition
of Glenn Miller, the Dorsey Brothers, Les Brown and other swing
greats, SJO is based right here in Atlanta. Sentimental Journey
is THE swing orchestra for any event!
The Big
Band - Essex CT.
Bob Hughes is one of our Alumni from years ago
as well as other bands from Texas to California. He has started
a new swing band in Essex, Ct very similar to SJO. He is now
