The best big band in the area is the New London Big Band, which has a ton of guys in it from the US Coast Guard Band.
CG Band also has its own jazz band, I think.
Around here there is considerable overlap between the Hartford Symphony, New Haven Symphony, Eastern Connecticut Symphony, Rhode Island Phil and the US Coast Guard Band. @gary knows what I mean. I don't think any of those orchestras have their own big band group affiliated with them.
There are other good-to-fine big bands around here (three...?? four...?? more...??) but the point being that the orchestra has found a creative way to increase it's marketability.
c. 16 pcs. employs more than 4 or 5, but is more affordable than 60.

Yes. We know that cities are now (and completely by design of the ruling class, as part of the top down engineered chaos for their so called "great reset") unlivable, and that the only time to go into a city is to play a gig or possibly to buy something that someone has for sale that is very rare or at an incredible price - who is willing to meet in front of a major grocery store chain grocery or a Walmart - and then immediately leave that city, but what I'm saying is that the CSO does not have a Chicago Symphony big band made up of Chicago Symphony Orchestra members. That's all.
