Three musicians, Eugene Ball, Andrea Keller and Nick Haywood were approached by the management of Bennetts Lane Jazz Club to form the group. An 11 piece group was formed and the band has performed on a regular monthly basis from 2001 to 2008.

The Bennetts Lane Big Band performed the award winning jazz composition by Eugene Ball, Fool Poet's Portion suite, at a benefit concert for the Melbourne Jazz Co-op in January 2008.
