Born in 2013 in eastside San Jose, 7th Street Big Band features a jubilant crew of local musicians with drummer Gabby Horlick at the helm. Though the band takes inspiration from the jazz orchestras that ruled popular music in the 1940s, they are, in their own words, “not your grandma’s big band.” Funky basslines, swinging beats and a glorious horn section make a night with this musical family unforgettably fun. With a new EP slated for release this year, they return to their favorite San Jose venue, Art Boutiki, this Sunday.
