The Big Band Theory is wordplay on “The Big Bang Theory”. You have a jazz take on the concept of The Big Bang Theory which is appropriately titled “The Big Band Theory” given that this is a jazz song on an electro swing EP. The big band jazz sound of the 1930s and 1940s is prevalent on this song which is an instrumental.
I rate this EP 5/5*****!!
