The Toronto-based Advocats Big Band, originally assembled in 1991 by a group of young lawyers to perform for a local fundraiser, includes many top professional musicians and music educators whose collective experience range from studio, theatre, film and television work to major symphony orchestra, night club and chamber music. The Advocats have played at many venues throughout Toronto: Old Mill Toronto, The Rex Hotel, the Beaches International Jazz Festival, Eat to the Beat, and the Silver Ball, the Sunday Concert Series at the Scarborough Civic Centre and the Sunday Serenades at Mel Lastman Square, to name a few. For almost 20years, we have performed on the first Monday of every month starting at the Chick ‘N Deli and currently at The Duke Toronto! We are so thankful to our ever-growing following of loyal listeners. Our repertoire includes classics played by the likes of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and music from modern talents like Michael Bublé, the New York Voices, and Norah Jones. Believe us, the list goes on!
