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 & popular 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.

Maybe you want to have a themed event where you capture the essence of the times, or maybe 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?
 
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.

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 cocktail, 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 accommodate requests on-the-spot as well, and even program complete Christmas events with selections from these eras!

Mardi Gras anyone?
 
Doing a Mardi Gras night?  Want to have a themed event where you capture the vibe of New Orleans?  We have hours and hours of  New Orleans Jazz as well.  Even Ragtime piano! 

Bottom Line:

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!

Les Paul
1915 - 2009

More than any pop-culture icon, Les Paul helped shape and make possible music as we know it and listen to it today.  Les Paul was a guitar player who, with his wife Mary Ford, had many hits in the 40's & 50's.

While making this music, he also developed the solid-body electric guitar, an example of his personal legacy in this area living on in the iconic Gibson Les Paul guitar itself.  Perhaps even more importantly, invented multi-track "sound-on-sound" recording that is the basis for all of the music recorded today.

Musician, inventor & innovator.  He wore all of these hats with a graciousness, sense of humility, and a sense of humor that is all too-rare in any walk of life.

Thanks Les.
