Modern Swing

Modern swing revives the foot-tapping rhythms and brassy exuberance of swing music from the Great Depression and World War II eras, while infusing contemporary sensibilities and production values. This genre typically includes a vibrant mix of saxophones, trumpets, trombones, and rhythm sections that lay down a danceable groove. It pays homage to the bygone big band sound yet often introduces more nuanced orchestration, diverse influences, and sometimes modern lyrical themes. Bands like The Solomon Douglas Swingtet and The Basin Street Brawlers exemplify the genre by encapsulating the classic swing aesthetic, interspersed with elements of bebop, blues, and jazz sophistication, ensuring the genre resonates with a new generation eager to jitterbug as seamlessly as the swing aficionados of the past.
