Swing Band Bordeaux
This Bordeaux-based swing jazz band is ready to bring their extensive and successful experience to your wedding party or banquet.
The band consists of professional musicians from the Bordeaux and Bergerac areas in South-West France. To offer a wide and attractive range of services at competitive prices, the band can adjust its setup according to your personal preferences, budget, and the space available (number and type of musicians, style of orchestration, etc.). The band frequently travels across the Aquitaine, Dordogne, and Charente regions.
The swing band's repertoire is vast and caters to all tastes. The instrumental music can be accompanied by singers in English in styles like crooning (Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, or Dean Martin) covering major jazz standards. Alternatively, singers can perform in French with occasional comic lyrics in the style of Henri Salvador or Moustache.
This wide-ranging and eclectic performance ability has made the band particularly popular with mixed French and British couples who request traditional American swing music (such as Count Basie, Duke Ellington, or Benny Goodman). Different atmospheres with various rhythms and musical tones can be provided, ranging from long romantic ballads, through medium tempo swing, New Orleans, Bossa Nova, blues, Latin Jazz, and Be-Bop.
Carefully managed sound volumes and modern, delightful visual effects come together to provide families with a pleasant and enjoyable time around the bride and groom.
