Sounds To Go Swings
Do you love Big Band music? Swing? Popular vocal standards from the 20's through the 50's?
So do we! In fact, we specialize in these
styles and eras.
We have the absolute largest selection of BIG BAND, SWING & VOCAL STANDARDS from the 20's through the 50's of any local service!
What is it about that music?
These compositions and romantic standards capture the essence of a bygone era, and provided the soundtrack for a generation that saw our country at some of its most fragile and resilient times, and helped it rise triumphantly through both.
Like the older blues and jazz traditions that they drew from, Big Band and Swing were among the first musical genres and styles that were uniquely American.
Whether you love to dance to big band/swing music, or just want to bring to your event the romantic aire and innocence of an era gone by, we have you covered.
Do you want to have a themed event where you capture the essence of the times, or do you love to dance to big band and swing music? Maybe you just love to listen. Whatever the case may be, we can help you realize the feel of your special event like no other local service can.
Just how much?
With over 300 instrumental big band/swing selections and over 800 vocal selections, we have all the big names that everyone will recognize, and many many more that will hold a special place for those who were there or just love the music of the times.
A sample of our selections can be seen here.
Just how much of a selection from these genres and eras do we have? To give you an idea, we could play well over 18 straight hours of instrumental big band/swing music alone without repeating a single selection... and that does not include our popular/vocal standards from the 20's through the 50's. And our library is always growing!
Because of the size and quality of our selection, we can custom-tailor coctail, dinner, and dance segments using the music you love. Not only can we program a complete event from our selections in these styles if desired, but our library is extensive enough that we can accomodate requests on-the-spot as well, and even program complete Christmas events with selections from these eras!
Just say "No" to MP3's!
The recording methods, mediums, and techniques used "back in the day" are part of what gives this music its character and helps transport you to a different place and time. Because of the inherent limitations, flaws, and inconsistencies that resulted from the recording technologies of the day, be sure not to settle for a service that has music from these genres and eras in mp3 format. Digital file formats, and mp3's especially, degrade the audio signal as a result of file compression, thereby adding to the already lossy nature of these original recordings. Having our collection entirely on cd ensures the highest possible audio quality because they are mastered directly from the original recordings. You get to hear the standards and classics the way they were recorded, and the way they have been enjoyed for well over half-a-century.
If you are looking to do an event for yourself, or for others who truly enjoy and appreciate these types of music, we are sure you will agree... we are the ones to call.
We gladly offer discounted rates for events held by or for seniors, so please call today for special pricing!
If you are a retirement community or an adult care or assisted living facility, we will gladly volunteer our services for the enjoyment and benefit of our beloved senior citizens. Contact us today for more information!
