Since its inception in 2008, The Eyal Vilner Big Band has performed at many of New York’s great jazz landmarks such as Jazz at Lincoln Center, Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola, Smalls, Iridium, Minton’s Playhouse and Central Park’s SummerStage. The big band’s first three albums, Introducing the Eyal Vilner Big Band, Almost Sunrise and Hanukkah, received rave reviews and stand strong at the Top Jazz Radio Charts of the US and Canada. Eyal Vilner is steadfastly becoming one of the leading voices in the NYC jazz big band scene and because he loves to swing dance, you will find elements in his music that are only found in the great dance bands of the 1930s and 40s.
