Interestingly, that's basically why the electrification of guitars started happening.

When guitarists starting joining big bands during the big band era, it was very hard to hear the guitar player over the orchestra.

I noticed that there were so few Big Band songs that featured guitars which led me to ask this question. While the guitar isn’t my favorite instrument, it’s certainly a good one and I love a bunch of 1920’s Jazz guitar songs like this of Nick Lucas so I figured I should try to find some electric guitar centric Big Band music. I also really do recommend Nick Lucas if you are interested in Jazz guitar, plus he was a good singer too.
