由藝穗會主辦，大樂隊之夜是「Jazz-Go-Central, Jazz-Go-Fringe」的節目之一，主打不同的本地爵士大樂隊。
The Big BandExpress成立於2016年，由身兼長號手及樂隊領袖的Oliver Cura帶領。樂隊由20人組成，包括The Big BandExpress的前身 - BandExpress的主要成員，以及後來加入的管樂手(小號、長號及色士風)，令大樂隊可在演出時演奏出更獨特、更雄亮、更富表現力的音色。樂隊成員包括本地爵士樂手、演場會樂手、以及音樂教育者。
提起1930至1950年的大樂隊時代，都會令人聯想到舞廳和搖擺樂。當時的著名樂隊領袖及音樂人包括Tommy Dorsey、Glenn Miller、Duke Elligton、以及Benny Goodman。The Big BandExpress十分敬仰這些音樂人，和重視搖擺樂的深厚傳統。但除了搖擺樂，樂隊也會演奏不同類型的音樂，包括節奏藍調(R&B)、放克(Funk)、搖滾(Rock)、融合爵士樂(Jazz-Fusion)、拉丁(Latin)、以及流行樂(Pop)。樂隊喜歡演奏60、70、80、90年代的大樂隊音樂，讓觀眾重新感受那個時代的音樂。樂隊演奏的樂曲通常包括著名歌手及樂隊的作品，例如Stevie Wonder、Alicia Keys、Incognito、以及Swing Out Sisters; 還有來自著名現代大樂隊的作品，包括Buddy Rich、Sammy Nestico、Mark Taylor、Dave Wolpe、Arturo Sandoval以及Roger Holmes等等。

Presented by the Fringe Club as one of the programmes of “Jazz-Go-Central, Jazz-Go-Fringe” project, Big Band Nights feature different local jazz big bands to perform at Fringe Dairy.
The Big BandExpress emerged in 2016 under the leadership of a Trombonist and Band Director, Oliver Cura. The band is a twenty-piece ensemble built around the core of the successful BandExpress, with the inclusion of additional horns (trumpets, trombones and saxophones) to entertain audiences and events which require the distinctive textures, expression and power of the Big Band sound. Band members include Hong Kong based Jazz musicians, Freelance Session Players and Music Educators.
The ‘Big Band era’ is associated with swing music and dance halls of the 1930s to 50s. Famous band leaders and musicians of the time included Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Duke Elligton and Benny Goodman. The Big BandExpress pays homage to this deep heritage yet goes decisively beyond by playing diversity of genres covering RnB, Funk, Rock, Jazz-Fusion, Latin and Pop as well as Swing – showcasing Big Band music through the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s and bringing it right up to date. Sets typically incorporate hits from artists and bands such as Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Incognito, and Swing Out Sisters as well as tunes from famous contemporary big bands of Buddy Rich, Sammy Nestico, Mark Taylor, Dave Wolpe, Arturo Sandoval and Roger Holmes – to name but a few.
