The Capp-Pierce Juggernaut
The Capp-Pierce Juggernaut is an American big band jazz ensemble, formed in 1975 by Frank Capp and Nat Pierce.[1]
The group was known equivalently as the Capp-Pierce Orchestra and the Capp-Pierce Juggernaut in its early years. Its membership was rotating, though Capp and Pierce remained its leaders until Pierce's death in 1992, after which Capp continued with the group simply as "The Juggernaut".[1]
