THINGS OF SWING
Trad. New Orleans Swing/Hot Jazz/Jazz Bring your Dancing Shoes!
Things of Swing is a musical collective focused on reproducing traditional New Orleans Jazz from the early swing years (1900-1920), as well as some more widely known tunes made famous by later stars such as Ella Fitzerald or Louis Amstrong.
An open collective of musicians drawn from a variety of nationalities (Czechia, Spain, USA, Switzerland, Greece) that come together to merge their wide influences, adding some spice to the style.
The core members of the band are the trio formed by Goldsmith, Bačova and Pendleton. Together they provide a full show and a perfect ground for other collaborators to join in, expanding the formation to include drums, additional guitar or banjo, or even a full horn section.
No matter the size, from the street to the stage,this music invites dance, romance, humor and tears, sometimes all at once!

The performance is usually semi acoustic: voices, guitar and bass amplified; drums & brass such as trumpets or Saxophones acoustic.
If we add a drummer, the levels go up significantly and usually everything except for the drums is amplified.
