"It's like walking into a ballroom dance from the past - and it is wonderful" - The New York Times
Considered one of the premier big bands on the East Coast and boasting seventeen musicians, a musical director and a superb vocalist, the Fairfield Counts have been the featured entertainment at such exclusive venues as Windows On The World, The Supper Club, Red Blazer Too, The Yale Club, The Hotel Pierre and aboard the Intrepid Aircraft Carrier in New York Harbor.
Founded in 1976, the Fairfield Counts has consistently attracted top caliber musicians whose passion is recreating the unique sounds of the Big Band era.
Founder - Harvey Tuckman
Harvey Tuckman started the Fairfield Counts in 1976 to recreate and perpetuate the legacy and music of the Big Band Era. He has researched and collected an extensive library of the original music arrangements as played and recorded by the great dance bands of that era. Under Harvey’s guidance, the band has maintained a very high caliber of musicianship and professional performance for decades.
Music Director - Fred Mariano
As music director, Fred brings a lifetime of knowledge and experience about big band music and performance to the Fairfield Counts. While earning his degree in Music Education from the University of Bridgeport, Fred performed in the school jazz ensemble under the direction of Neil Slater. Since then, Fred has performed with all manner of big bands and small groups (often as a featured trumpet soloist) and even brought his extensive musical history knowledge to bear as the host of his own long-running radio program. In addition to performing in numerous theater orchestras and recording studios, Fred’s expertise directing musical groups makes him a perfect fit to conduct the Fairfield Counts.
