Ken Loomer has performed with many of the top jazz and variety bands in the state of Florida. After years of professional musicianship, primarliy in a "sideman" role, Ken has decided to step out front and become the leader of his own band: THE KEN LOOMER BIG BAND!

The KLBB is a concert only hard swinging group of 15 great musicians. The idea behind this band as Ken states is to "first keep jazz alive, which is America's greatest art form," and having the music performed by the best jazz musicians in the country. The music consists of original arrangements written just for his band, and the music from the Great American Songbook including charts from jazz icons such as Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Count Basie, and Maynard Ferguson.

Some of the artists that Ken has worked with include the Tommy Dorsey Big Band with leader Warren Covington, Connie Haines, Ira Sullivan, Mose Allison, Richie Cole, Don Menza, Nick Brignola, Kenny Drew Jr., and Leon Marian. Ken was also the house drummer for 8 years at the Jazz Cellar in Ybor City backing up many of the top jazz artists who played this club. Currently, Ken is working with many of the top local jazz bands in the Tampa Bay area as well as touring with national acts. **Inactive as of 8/31/14
