THE FOCUS OF OUR MAGAZINE

Is music and nostalgia...but we're more than just Big Band.
We featured, Swing, Oldie Goldies, profiles on the stars and the legends of pop, jazz, radio and the silver screen. Our beat includes Glenn Miller to Madonna, Frank Sinatra to Harry Connick Jr., Judy Garland to Gershwin, Bobby Vinton to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Bing Crosby to Tony Bennett, and yes.. .there's always something Elvis Presley. The magazine is over 80 percent editorial and covers the international and Canadian entertainment scene. We discuss happenings, Hollywood movies and music trivia and look back to the golden era of Swing to the fabulous years of Rock'n' Roll and Motown.

The magazine lists up-coming concerts, dances and musical theatre.
Our Sentimental Journey travel section covers trips, tours and destinations. Articles in BBW are written by profession journalists and music experts in Canada and the U.S., many of whom are on-air radio hosts with their own programs.

Big Band World responds to a booming 50-plus demand for quality entertainment. Music has a distinctive impact on all stages of a person's life and plays an important role in creating fond memories.
