The 3rd Stream Big Band is the brainchild of Jim Basile, Jim Wile, and Greg "Suds" Sudmeier - Combining the coolest and most highly diverse genre's of music with some of the finest musicians, this is the premiere New Big Band in Atlanta, GA!

Writer-bassist, Jim Basile, and writer-drummer, "Suds," do much of the music arranging for the band, and they also curate other wonderful charts by some of the finest writers in the music industry. Jim Wile also provides excellent logistical and coordinating skills and plays Lead Trombone in the band too!

In the summer of 2019, Suds and the 2 Jims spearheaded the 3rd Stream Big Band!
