About

Tropical Jazz Big Band (Japanese: 熱帯JAZZ楽団, Nettai Jazz Gakudan); incorrectly referred to in the United States as Nettai Tropical Jazz Big Band, is a Japanese latin jazz big band.

Led by Carlos Kanno from Orquesta de la Luz, the Tropical Jazz Big Band started out as a group of friends playing for fun and evolved into an 18-piece ensemble. Boasting four percussionists, a three-piece rhythm section, and powerful horns, the band released their first album Live in Yokohama in 1998. That year the band also played in United States. They have played at various jazz festivals and venues, including Carnegie Hall in New York City, United States.
