The Miami Big Sound Orchestra has been downtown Miami's resident Latin Jazz big band since 2006, a project formed as a collaboration of musicians from Miami's jazz and Latin music communities. The band combines 21st-century big band jazz with Afro-Cuban and Brazilian music, funk, and soul.

Hailing from all over the western hemisphere, the members of the MBSO are all veteran Miami musicians who have performed and toured with artists such as Celia Cruz, Gloria Estefan, Issac Delgado, Jon Secada, Chayanne, Rey Ruiz, Tito Nieves, K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Chaka Khan, and the Funk Brothers, to name a few.

​Their leader, Peter Francis, is based at New World School for the Arts and Miami-Dade Wolfson campus.
