History
Beginning in the late 1950's Robert Carrow founded and led a big band that was a pillar in the WNY music scene, The Quakertones. In 2014 he generously and graciously handed the leadership of the band and its library to John and Laura Anderson. He asked only that they continue the big band legacy which he had begun and kept alive.
Today the Anderson Big Band carries on this rich tradition. Building on the foundation of the immense library we inherited, we have expanded our repertoire to include many modern big band, horn band and vocal charts.
