Jazz Big Band Recommendations?


Are there any other Big Band fanatics out there? I'm looking for some new stuff. Not the usual oldies (Basie, Ellington, etc.), but some good modern big bands that may not be that well known.

For something comtemporary, Dave Berger and the Sultans of Swing. In the mode of Duke. See sultansofswing.com
Saw the Dave Holland Big Band last month at Birdland, 10 horns on stage! in addition to vibes, drums ( the utterly amazing Nate Smith), and obviously a pretty good bass player :^) They blew the roof off.
