About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

The OJE (Otsego Jazz Ensemble) Big Band delights in entertaining audiences and dancers with authentic arrangements of classic big band tunes as well as modern jazz and pop charts. We play most styles of dance music, except C&W, and are always eager to take requests. Our vocalists, Ian Brown and Martha Reid, have smooth, appealing styles that rest easy on the ear. Members of the OJE come from all around SW Michigan and you'll find us in concert in many communities throughout the year. Summer concerts, ballroom dances, stage shows, fund raisers, wedding receptions, and celebrations of all sorts... we're prepared for them all. The fun-loving attitude of the band makes our performances a toe-tapping, head-nodding phenomenon. We're easy to work with, and always aim to please. Check out our website for sample recordings and more information about The OJE Big Band.
