Organized in 2001 under the direction of GRAMMY-nominated director, producer, author, and saxophonist, Caleb Chapman, the Crescent Super Band has frequently been hailed as one of the best professional bands in the world to be comprised entirely of young musicians. With a youthful energy and nearly unbelievable performance level, the band has performed their hip, intelligent big band arrangements for thousands. While the ensemble has been featured at many of the world's most prominent music festivals, their crowning performance was a headlining debut at a packed Carnegie Hall in May of 2013, and recently they made their debut in Cuba at Havana’s “Fiesta Del Tambor”. On multiple occasions since 2007 DownBeat Magazine has recognized the Crescent Super Band with their coveted "Downbeat Award” recognizing them as one of the top young big bands in the world.

The Crescent Super Band has caught the attention of many of today's top artists as well. Since its inception the band has performed with over two hundred guest artists including GRAMMY-winners David Sanborn, Trombone Shorty, Jeff Coffin, Branford Marsalis, Randy Brecker, Futureman, Gordon Goodwin, Joe Lovano, Esperanza Spalding, Bob Mintzer, Nicholas Payton, Christian McBride, Eric Marienthal, Dave Weckl, Bob Mintzer, Ernie Watts, Peter Erskine, David Paich, Dave Samuels, and many others. And with frequent guest artists from groups like Maroon 5, Journey, the Killers, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Toto, Tower of Power, Journey, Neon Trees, the Rolling Stones, the Blues Brothers, and the Saturday Night Live Band, they obviously have fans in the industry, as well.
