Max Weinberg Debuts his Big Band in Miami's Fontainbleau

This legendary hot spot on South Beach has really taken the prize and has become the place for the latest shows, such as Max Weinberg ‘s Big Band.Weinberg is known as the drummer for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and longtime drummer for the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and now but maybe not for long Conan O’Brien. Besides directing…See More
