SWING & CO. is an International Jazz Quintet based in Dublin . We are musicians of French, Irish, Australian, Hungarian and Slovakian nationality. Our music combines the elements of European "Gypsy" swing Jazz music (most notably the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli) with that of 'Hot' Swing Jazz (Louis Armstrong, Ella fitzgerald, Count Basie, etc).
Our Group is highly adaptable with an extensive repertoire varying
greatly in style from lively "hot" dancing swing to gentle swinging ambiance. With this diversity our music is capable of creating an atmosphere that ranges from a vibrant dancing environment to a more soulful or relaxed mood. We are ideal for corporate events, Weddings, and private parties.
We can perform either as a quartet or as a quintet. The quartet (without the singer) is generally chosen to provide a more ambient type of music (early evening drinks receptions, quiet dinner music, etc.) with the Quintet being perfect for a more lively, energetic show (evening parties, dances, etc.).
In recent times we have been performing at a variety of public and private events and functions.
Some of the locations have included: The Wineport Lodge, The Radisson
Hotel, The Four Seasons Hotel, Sheen Falls Hotel, The Portlick Castle, Castle Durrow, Tattersalls, Tinakelly House...
SWING & CO is also performing on a regular basis in the Jazz Club THE BLEU NOTE (Capel Street), THE COBBLESTONE (Smithfield) and other pubs and venues ...
