The Swing Legacy

The Swing Legacy, six pieces plus vocalist, is essentially a little big-band, presenting the polish, heat, and energy of the great swing big-bands. Their exciting original arrangements produce a big-band sound and make the group sound larger than six pieces. Their repertoire concentrates on classic big-band swing music, including many Duke Ellington and Count Basie numbers. The Swing Legacy's music is both great dance music and interesting concert jazz, and they function professionally both as a concert jazz ensemble and a dance band. Acclaimed for their impeccable musicianship and powerful swinging beat, they have played throughout New England for innumerable wedding receptions, private parties, swing dances, jazz concerts, corporate events, and fund-raisers. The Swing Legacy provides the authentic style, elegance, and excitement of a big band for the price of 7 musicians. Two highly acclaimed CDs present some of the most interesting and exciting items from their repertoire.
