Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, the Casablanca Orchestra is a powerful, well-rehearsed 18 piece Big Band. This outstanding instrumental ensemble features Ms. Debbie Bennett, one of the top female vocalists in the region. Her vocal stylings are reminiscent of great singers such as Ella Fitzgerald and Rosemary Clooney, and contemporaries Linda Ronstadt, Whitney Houston and Natalie Cole.
The Casablanca Orchestra’s repertoire of more than 300 songs includes many Big Band Swing, Jazz, Latin, and Blues standards from the 40s to the 90s, by such greats as Count Basie, Woody Herman, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Stan Kenton, and contemporaries Thad Jones and Harry Connick, Jr. In addition, they feature Pop, Beach music, Rock and Roll “Oldies,” and a number of their own original Big Band arrangements.
