About New Orleans Jazz Swingers – professional New Orleans Style band based in London, UK
New Orleans Jazz Swingers is a group of professional musicians scouted and handpicked by the leader of the group, Graham.
Having toured the UK and abroad playing at clubs and festivals with many great bands, Graham decided to use his experience to put together a band of his own.
From the outset the philosophy was that good music should be combined with good entertainment: the musicians in the band should enjoy working together to make the many old tunes we play sound fresh and new.
The band’s repertoire is drawn largely from the small group jazz of the 20’s and 30’s with a few other interesting numbers from other eras thrown in to spice things up.
They may provide the background for a classy reception, parties large and small, roaming around events, performing concerts... and they have been building a reputation as a band that is not only a lot of fun to listen to but also great to dance to.
"Thanks for doing such a great job. The band were fabulous and made the whole thing feel swelegant!"
"The band was terrific, and absolutely made the party yesterday. A great many of our guests said how much they’d enjoyed their music. Would you pass on our renewed thanks?"
"I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for your wonderful performance at our Philosophy Welcome Soirée. Your music truly set the tone and created an inviting and vibrant atmosphere that everyone enjoyed! Thank you for making the evening memorable for our students and staff alike. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you again in the future!"
"I really loved your relaxed chatter in-between songs with the guests, and the friendliness and charm that came with you all. This is something that we feel really brings about the happiest atmosphere on the day, which is what we are all about! It's what you bought to the coronation party, and I thought it really made it!"
"Loved loved loved your vibes at Zedel last month. We danced around the tables! Forgot to be embarrassed! Bravo!"
"What a fantastic group. We had a very diverse range of ages at our outdoor, BBQ on a really hot sunny day. They arrived with plenty of time to spare. From the moment they started, to the last number they had everyone captivated. Everyone toe tapping, some dancing, and the whole vibe was joyous. Everyone commented on how good they were and it being the perfect act for the day. They are lovely talented musicians, and would recommend them to anyone."
""Thank you for your email, and more importantly, thank you for your wonderful music. It was really perfect and so many people have said to us how much they enjoyed it. It was good that the weather allowed you to venue out in the gardens. Thank goodness for the dry sanctuary of the marquee at times! It really was the most joyous day and we couldn't have asked for it to go better."
