Don Johnson Big Band
ESNS: 2013
The smallest big band in the world, that's the Don Johnson Big Band. Four Finns who mix hip hop with jazz, dub, funk, electronic influences, country and multifarious other genres. They started in the smallest way possible by selling their debut album from their backpacks, and have gone on to top the charts with gold and platinum records. Currently on their fifth album they have an amazing live reputation, and they claim that they unite hip-hop fans, hard-core metal heads, and soccer moms of all ages in concert venues. Sounds like something you've got to see.
