Taipa
He believes partner dancing is one of the best things a person can do for themselves and their community.
The Swing Service are musicians who see jazz as an open art form: communicative, accessible and contemporary.
The band combines vocals, trombone, piano, double bass and drums to create a sound that is rooted in tradition while also looking to the future. Their repertoire includes selected jazz standards, interpreted with respect for history and the courage to add their own signature, presented in a variety of tempos that are perfect for dancing.
The Swing Service breathes new life into classics and shows how timeless swing really is. In doing so, they pursue a clear goal: to bring jazz out of its niche and into everyday life. Their music is intended to move, surprise and, above all, be accessible – for connoisseurs and newcomers alike.
