The OffCourse Big Band was born in 2011 from the jazz improvisation course held by Simone La Maida, composer, arranger and jazz performer.

The staff is made up of 18 musicians distributed between the wind and rhythm sections. The jazz orchestra has an expanded repertoire, which ranges from Swing to Funky, passing through Latin and arriving at contemporary Jazz, offering both instrumental and sung pieces.

The OffCourse Big Band, directed by Simone La Maida himself, is interested in collaborations and twinnings with other Italian and foreign musical groups.
