https://foxbigband.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-the-ironwood-featuring-benny-benack-iii Fox Band is a large jazz ensemble in Calgary Alberta, Even if you are not a diehard jazz lover, you will probably like our style of music--at times it is hard driving jazz or jazz rock, at other times sweet and sexy. Many of our fans don’t necessarily consider themselves jazz fans-- but they find this music to be

accessible and very listenable. The inspiration behind our band is very simple: We make music that sounds good to us, and it does seem to sound good to a lot of people! We feature a singer, superb jazz soloists, and a few original compositions. Originally formed by Doug Fox and musician friends, the band has been around since the early eighties. Doug had a long career in Calgary as a professional trumpeter, bassist, bandleader, composer and arranger. Doug retired from the band in 2010. The band is now led by Brandon Oberhamer, a Calgary saxophonist, recording artist and music educator. Brandon has performed with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, Wednesday Night Big Band, and the Prime Time Big Band. He is a sought after private teacher, clinician, and performer, and has performed on Royal Caribbean Cruise lines and Norwegian Cruise lines and local bands including Hot Cargo, 20/20, TR3, The Calgary Jazz Orchestra, and Urban Divide. He has also performed on Broadway, playing the Woodwind Chair for “What Do Critics Know?” in 2015. For the Past ten years Brandon has been the Jazz Director at St. Francis High School in Calgary. He also has been the Director of the Calgary Summer Jazz Camp for the last 8 years.
