Swing Jazz Band Barcelona
Swing Jazz Band Barcelona is a jazz ensemble that plays swing and jazz standards with a warm and elegant sound. Their repertoire and tempos are chosen to delight both swing dancers and jazz enthusiasts 100%.
The group can tailor the band to fit the needs of any specific event: whether it’s a trio (voice, piano/guitar, and double bass), quartet (+drums), or a full quintet or sextet with saxophone or clarinet. All the artists are seasoned musicians in the realms of jazz, manouche, swing, soul, and black music.
Swing Jazz Band Barcelona was formed in the spring of 2012 at the Bohemian Jazz Club in Sant Cugat (Barcelona), stemming from a jam session where its members discovered their deep love for jazz and swing. They created a repertoire suited for swing dancers of all levels with help from professional Lindy Hop instructors.
Since then, the band has performed at numerous parties and festivals, including the Festival Bellaterra, Swing Night at the Barn d’en Greg, the Picnic Jazz & Swing, and the Christmas Swing Party in Sant Cugat. They've also played at the luxurious Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Barcelona, enhancing the exquisite atmosphere of its Gin & Live Sessions at Banker’s Bar.
The band offers alternative options alongside their standard performance, including:
The Lindy Hop Workshop:
The band offers the chance to learn the basics of Lindy Hop dance with a fun workshop conducted by two professional dancers at the beginning of the show.
Piano & Voice Duo for Intimate Jazz:
For black-tie or more intimate events, their soft Piano & Voice Duo can be the perfect pick. They have performed at the Mandarin Oriental Blanc Brasserie throughout 2013 and 2014.
