The Bebop Bounty Big Band is currently on tour bringing the cult classic anime “Cowboy Bebop” to life for audiences across America. “Cowboy Bebop,” which originally aired in the late ‘90s, is a neo-noir space Western set in the year 2071 that follows the lives of a traveling bounty-hunting crew aboard a spaceship. The Bebop Bounty Big Band, a 14-piece jazz ensemble, invites the audience to explore the solar system as it highlights the anime’s dynamic storyline. It does so through a multimedia experience, performing the soundtrack while visuals play out on the big screen behind them. The ensemble is composed of world-class musicians, including members from the Glenn Miller Orchestra, the Walt Disney Co. and the Jazz Orchestra at Dr. Phillips Center.
