About Bologna Swing Band – professional gypsy jazz & swing band based in Bologna, Italy

Bologna Swing Band was founded in 2010 in Bologna by four musicians with diverse artistic backgrounds who discovered a shared interest and passion for Gypsy Jazz music, commonly known as manouche.

They quickly began performing at various events, festivals, and weddings around Italy, quickly becoming one of the most sought after Gypsy Jazz & Swing bands in the country.

We're regularly booked to perform for weddings and events at Zunfthaus zur Meisen in Switzerland, Villa Rosa in Montepulciano and Abbazia San Pietro in Valle in Umbria, Italy.

More information about Bologna Swing Band

The quartet resumes, investigates, and presents a repertoire authentic to the Manouche culture, always referencing Django Reinhardt, widely regarded as the finest exponent of gipsy music.

Fascinated by the stories of the many musicians who crossed Europe in the last century, the four musicians enrich their concert with original songs, themes from the Standard Jazz repertoire, and arrangements of music from different traditions reinterpreted in the Gypsy Jazz style.

"We chose Bologna Swing Band for an important event at our restaurant, helped by images and videos found on the web. And once we got to know them in person, after listening to them play live, after talking and joking with them, after the success of the evening, the enthusiasm of the customers, we would like to be able to express to those who don't know them yet their great professionalism, ability and humanity. Dear Bologna Swing Band, for us it's a goodbye, we thank you very much and... your CD is listened to every day in our club!!! Thank you again!"

"Bologna Swing Band filled our amazing wedding day with great music. They were formidable, from the first telephone contact to the greetings on the evening of the party. They knew how to accompany dinner well, without any flaws or imperfections, adapting to the unexpected (bad weather) and last second requests that saw them in procession (including double bass) accompanying the bride and groom, after a warm-up improvisation, to the nearby court from the cake cutting room. They received compliments from all the guests, friends, parents and older people, for their skill, elegance, stage presence and sobriety. Positive feedback also from the rest of the technical staff, who shared the table with them during dinner, for their sympathy and cordiality. I'm sure I'll find them soon at the wedding of friends in the hall! Great guys, thanks thanks thanks!!!"

"Bologna Swing Band is made up of real and passionate artists, they know how to entertain the public like real professionals by modulating the velvety sounds with a lot of class and skill They are able to cheer up party evenings even by improvising new keys and scores and as very good jazz musicians who are immediately immersed in the atmosphere of the festive host environment, but without ever going over the top, without ever exceeding the notes, with the right discretion of those who "listen" and at the same time chat ..., aware that each of their notes, every sound they make ... will go straight to the heart!"

"I have loved them for many years and I find that the more they grow, the more faithful they become to the style they interpret. It is easy for me to propose them to our spouses because they have a formidable curriculum. At the event "they fall in love" and not only for their indisputable talent but also for their flexibility, availability and ability to adapt. To say that I recommend them, therefore, is an understatement. Let's say they are a guarantee."
