The international band ECHOES OF SWING is a unique combination of four leading exponents of a new generation of Swing musicians. Based in Germany, each member of the group has outstanding references and has made a name as soloist in countless international formations. Formed in 1997, this young group has made an immediate impact on the Jazz scene. In addition to the quartet’s diverse program, striking arrangements and expressive solos, its trademark is undoubtedly the unusual instrumentation.
“Echoing” the music of the 1930’s & 40s, the band is obviously steeped in the tradition of this exiting musical era, but make no mistake, this is no nostalgia trip. Indeed, many of the tunes performed by ECHOES OF SWING were composed after the year 2000.
The ECHOES OF SWING album ‘Message from Mars’ received the ‘Prix de l’Académie du Jazz’ in Paris, and in Germany was awarded the ‘German Record Critics' Award’.In 2013 ECHOES OF SWING signed a contract with 'ACT Music & Vision' and on this new label subsequently released their internationally acclaimed CD 'BLUE PEPPER' and the brand new and eagerly anticipated album 'DANCING' .
