Led by guitarist and vocalist Stephan Urwyler, IN MISSION OF TRADITION masterfully bridges the gap between feather-light swing standards and hard-grooving blues. This is honest music without boundaries, defined by sophistication, originality, musical wit, and solid craftsmanship. The band delivers musical highlights spanning seven decades of jazz, blues, and pop. Their diverse repertoire ranges from Lindy Hop, delicate Bossa Nova, and passionate Tango to vibrant Latin rhythms, high-energy Rock’n’Roll, Cha Cha Cha, electrifying Swing, Mambo, and Jive. Timeless classics by The Rolling Stones, Sting, and Stevie Wonder also hold a firm place in their setlist, ensuring a perfect soundtrack for any occasion.
