The Miami Big Sound Orchestra is downtown Miami's resident 18- piece big band since 2006, a project formed as a collaboration of musicians from Miami's unique blend of musical communities. The band combines 21st-century big band jazz with Afro-Cuban and Brazilian music, funk, and soul.

Hailing from all over the western hemisphere, the members of the MBSO are all veteran Miami musicians who have performed and toured with artists such as Celia Cruz, Gloria Estefan, Issac Delgado, Jon Secada, Chayanne, Rey Ruiz, Tito Nieves, K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Chaka Khan, and the Funk Brothers, to name a few.

The band's repertoire, inspired by the music of Ray Barretto, Machito, Mario Bauza, Willy Rosario, Paquito D'Rivera, Irakere, and Tito Puente, features original works by Rafael "Cali" Valencia (legendary Miami bassist/composer), Chino Nunez (Grammy-Award winning producer), and Jaui Schneider (former pianist/composer for Ray Barretto).
