Founded by Jon and Wesley Mannino, we are excited to present the Fat City Swing Orchestra! Comprised of the absolute finest jazz musicians in the New Orleans Area, we formed this band with our family’s legacy in mind and are committed to providing an excellent experience every time we take the stage.

We offer up to a full sized 16 piece big band, smaller jazz ensemble, and second-line band suitable for the widest variety of events, wedding receptions, parties, concerts, fundraising events, you name it!

This band is dedicated to the memory and legacy of the late, beloved, and dearly missed Frank and Marco Mannino. We are honored to carry the legacy of Mannino music in the city of New Orleans.
