Ten people in one band means a lot of sound – in more ways than one.
The Uptown Swing Band’s 5-man horn section handles trumpet, trombone, clarinet, and alto, tenor and baritone saxophones between them. Add a rhythm section of drums, electric bass or double bass, piano and guitar and there is no limit to the rich sound textures possible. During a performance the Uptown Swing Band turns the spotlight on seven instrumental soloists, two “guest” vocalists from the ranks, and their featured vocalist Michele Lawrence, Peter Styles or Neil Kristian
Variety and versatility are reflected in the range of musical styles the band covers too. Listeners enjoy tributes to Swing’s golden era, 60s R&B standards, naughty novelties, jumpin’ upbeat numbers, and dreamy crooner favourites when they share a room with the Uptown Swing Band.
Whether you prefer to jitterbug till you drop, or listen and groove without stop, the Uptown Swing Band sets the vibration for your celebration.
