About the Benefactor: Big Time Jazz Orchestra Board of Directors
The Big Time Jazz Orchestra is a nationally acclaimed, locally stationed jazz orchestra that performs both classic standards and original compositions all over the area. They love to promote big band jazz music and provide opportunities to educate the youth of the twin ports on the ultimate American art form.

Established by founder Randy Lee, the Big Time Jazz Orchestra has performed all over the Twin Ports, and also does quite a few shared concerts with various schools in the region. The band is not only known for its top quality musicians, but also benefits many local charities. The UW-Superior Big Time Jazz Orchestra Scholarship is only one of the many programs and charities they support.
