 | Sometimes the best way to find new things is to look to the past. The masters of swing music developed their styles in the great clubs and hotels of Chicago, New York, and Paris during the 30s, 40s, and into the 50s. Imagine, potted palms, waiters in white aprons, and glistening marble floors with elegantly dressed couples dancing cheek to cheek; this is the spirit of the great swing movement and the essence of SWING 39. Liven up your next party or special event with the swinging sound of Swing 39. Visit www.swing39.com or call (502) 581-9251 for more information. Get the Flash Player to see this player. "Angel Eyes"SWING 39 is a jazz trio composed of bass, violin, and guitar. Our goal is to evoke the spirit of swing as it is epitomized in the music of gypsy guitarist D'jango Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grapelli. These two performers injected a unique sound into their music, a sound which became known as "hot club" jazz, referring to the Hot Club of Paris where D'jango and Grapelli frequently played. Swing 39 plays the original compositions of D'jango and popular tunes by composers such as Cole Porter, Gershwin, and Ellington using the "hot club" sound as its model. The result is music that is energetic, sassy, and lots of fun. | |
